Yeah man, I have done over 40000km and sprockets and are only half worn, chain adjustment is only half way along the adjustment.
mind you I'm pretty picky about cleaning and lubing it all.
I clean the chain every month and ONLY use chain wax no other lube.
so I should get another 20000km at...
yeah I would suggest doing the loop go to mossvale then go to down Barrengarry mountain to Kangaroo Valley (great twisty stuff) then go over Cambewarra mountain down to the coast at Nowra (dont go into Nowra its a hole) turn left at princess hwy and go to Kiama for lunch very nice town. you will...
Hey my 2006 fz6 has the exact same noise, a whine only in second gear and only when coasting. no-one could tell me what the problem was so i just change the oil more often.
have done 20000 km with it under all sorts of loads and trips. the noise has not gone away but has not gotten worse or...
after i got mine installed the first ride i noticed the wind noise was worse. the new screen chaneled wind directly to the base of helmet. I'm only 5ft 10 so taller or shorter people may get different results.
G'day mate. Try changing the oil. the previous owner might have used ordinary car oil in it, which is not made for bike clutches. I had an old VF1000 and previous owner had used car oil and I got clutch creep and clutch noises.
( make sure you change filter aswell)
Hope this helps

now you have gone and done it! that looks so good I'm going to have to get it done.
can you tell me where you got it done, eg a normal auto place or a specialist place.
For that price the minister for war and peace can't argue. ( well maybe a bit)
Thanks Jamie
Me personally I would do up your engine even if it means spending a bit more in $$.
Reason being I had a bad experience 5 years ago, had an engine throw a bigend bearing, at the time it was less expensive to just get a secondhand motor from a reputable yard. Put engine in and it blew smoke...
Hey man, I would love to take those lower fairings off your hands.
Would you be willing to ship to Australia? and if so how much for freight? (don't forget to add some money in for handling for yourself).

Hey Michael,
I was wondering about those inner panels that I PM you about on the 30/03/2010 you said you were going down to post office that day.
You have not answered any posts or PM since your last PM 30/03/2010.
If you have sold them to someone else then the polite thing to do is to let...
G'day Michael,
how are you going with those inner panels? If you don't want me to pay through your bank I can do paypal.
Let me know anyway.
Regards Barry

Happy Australia day everyone. Sounds like everyone is going to have a great day.
Me I have to work, but will be celebrating with an Australian flag on the work bus and Aussie flag tatoo's on face. Love aussie day.
Have a great day...
My motto is who cares what other people think, if you are happy and hurting no-one then it's all good. life is short, to short to spend it alone or unhappy.
And that should be king in my last post, I had a bit night last night.( work wise )
