Help! Starting to get rather annoyed now.

[Virt]

Chain doesn't move laterally at all

[scrowe]

youre axle nut could be a tad loose?

when do you here the noise most?

when the suspension moves?

[Virt]

When the wheel is moving basically

[scrowe]

When the wheel is moving basically

so its a constant noise?

the bike isnt moving in a particular way to set of the noise like leanig to the left going round a bend or going over a speed bump. that sort of thing.

if its constant it cant be too much, bearings, brakes, chain, tyre.

[scrowe]

scotoiler not scraping the chain or summat?

[Virt]

Yeah it's basically constant, and scoff oiler isn't scraping the chain. Just had a call back from my dad, gonna try and limp it home at 30-40mph and he's gonna have a look. Reckon it's to do with the plate on the back of the swing arm now :S

[scrowe]

ride carefull!!!

Never felt so uncomfortable on a bike. Gonna try and see if I can get my dad to let me switch to insuring myself on the storm, though I doubt he will, because I don't feel comfortable on the hornet anymore. Something goes wrong every few hundred miles

Tyre is clear of swing arm. Only thing loose is the plate on the back of the right swing arm in front of the bolts, no idea what that does? Can't check the front sprocket as I have no tools. Brother stole my under-seat toolkit and the seat keeps bending my keys, I only have my master key on me as I'm awaiting arrival of my new key at the key cutters

Is that the chain tensioner

[Virt]

I have no idea...

[benny hedges]

did you get the wheel spacers the right way round?
you'll probably find one is wider than the other ;)

[Wicky]

Sounds like all it need is maintenance / preventative maintenance. What you have with the CB is a better basis of transport, with money better spent on maintenance (parts, tools & recovery;-), than having a hamstrung 33bhp VTR that you can only ride in a car park or with money thrown at exorbitant insurance.

Anyone planning a workshop day this year?

Problem is I do what I can to help the bike, but my brother who had it before me treated it like crap and ragged it everywhere. There's only so much I can do with a limited budget and limited knowledge, I didn't know how badly it had been treated until November!

Just think about the matt Black beast you will be getting soon

Ooh aye! Saturday hopefully
