If ur still using a socket or spanner with slight play in it try padding it out with a bit of rubber(a cut from from a roll of innertube puncture patches, or an old inner tube). This should help the socket bite properly, although by the sounds of things that's not ur biggest issue. It does sound lik...

Thankyou all so much for your kind birthday wishes! I was indeed pished for most of the weekend. And the vtr remained tucked up(still cutting out), which is a shame because I usually like to go a little birthday backroad blast before I try nd kill off my liver with alcohol :) thanx for all your kind...

I would have to agree with gingerbeard Pull the clutch in and out with it running and see if the noise goes Away. My bike, I think, needs a clutch basket or plates as it sounds like a muffled dry clutch until u pull the clutch lever in. If it doesn't go away... Get ur trusty screwdriver out.. Well.....

Bikes started cutting out again every few miles sometimes even 100 yards :/ Booked into my local datatool dealer to hav immobiliser removed. In the meantime I hav removed kickstand switch entirely and bike would click into gear and stay running so I'm assuming it is bypassed correctly..cleaned switc...

Update on the vtr kickstand switch issues! Checked operation of clutch switch seems normal. But having disconnected and reconnected clutch switch its now no longer faulting and has taken me to work and back all week. It could start acting up again but I will let you know as it happens. What I do nee...

I ride Michelin Road pilot 2's I have no chicken strips on the rear and a couple of mm on the front... I would agree with anyone that says modern tyres are designed to ride this way. I ran Bridgestone battlaxes on my last bike (cb400) nd it was the same story, I counter steer quite heavily, especial...
