GB500TT intermittent loud grinding noise in 1st gear?

It could be that, thank you I will check it out.

So where are we at with it?? Still reckon its the engine and best sell the engine off quick

I'll buy it!!!

I haven't ridden the bike for a couple of weeks, the 'cyclone' we had last weekend meant it stayed in the shed. I will take it out for a spin tomorrow & see if I can get it to recreate the sound again.

I had the bike checked when I bought it, no worries about the engine

My wife has a GB400 and its a great bike but think Im going to have to do new rings, camshaft valve guides and seals and although i have a pretty good deal on doing the work i alway thought an extra 100 cc's might make a great differnce.

strangely this bike is 1 down and 5 up gears and with an oversized front sprocet goes like a wee rocket

great bikes
