Have you checked the speedo drive as a potential source of your funny noises? I've had bikes sounding like the front end was going to fly off into space when all they needed was the speedo drive oiling.
If you can find a way of attaching it (eg a bolt through the calliper mounts), you can mount a dial-guage indicator on the fork leg.
A dirty way of doing this is to mount a piece of threaded bar in one of the calliper lugs using two nuts and adjust it so it is JUST standing off the surface of the disc. Then watch the gap to see if it runs wider and narrower. You can take it one step further and mark the point where the end of the bar is closest to the disc. Adjust it so the bar is barely touching the disc at this point then turn the wheel so you are at the largest gap. You can then measure the maximum runout with a feeler guage. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
