    speaking of funny noises....
    whats that horrid crunching sound you get when locking the rear wheel under hard braking? even with the clutch in all my bikes have done it.

    is it rooting something up terribly or is it par for the course?

    Sounds like chatter. Maybe you gotta learn to brake a bit smoother.

    more than likely Merv... its not a regular occurance by any means but it does happen (hey its a sports bike, I'm young and stupid, what can I say!)

    so whats chatter caused by exactly? is it the chain jumping around as it slackens and tightens with the wheel jolting under the torsion of the road and varying with the rubber bush compressing/expanding in the wheel hub?

    To put it simply. Yes. To complicate things further it is worse if you have a cush drive.

    Remedy? Practice braking drills that include both brakes and engine braking..... Unless you last adjusted your chain last year.

    As Big Dog says, but also it could be your suspension set up and type of tyres too because its basically your tyre kind of hopping on the road. You may have your damping too stiff or something like that and it aint handling the slightly corrugated stuff too well under brakes.

    Im certain I can diagnose the problem with your bike. But to do so I will need to ride it. I can pick it up from you on say um the 4th of june and Ill return it on the 6th with the problem sorted.
    as an added extra your sump plug will be drilled and a catch bottle for all fluids will be fitted
