Sounds like you need to check yourt Cush drive rubbers and your rear wheel bearings.
If its mainly to do with the sprocket and chain jumping off of it etc, then I would say its more than likely the cush drive rubbers.
Remove the rear sprocket and have a look what is underneath... there should be four or five bits of rubber there and they should fill the holes they occupy completely.
I would imagine that doing 500 miles two up with heavy luggage would give them a rough old time as they are designed to cushion the rear wheel and chain relationship so that yu can pull away and use engine braking etc without any jerking and without too much transmission lash.
Give them a check and see what happens! ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

Thanks for the suggestions - The cush drive was not well and the chain was pretty worn too. New bits set me back a little over 160GBP and a day on my knees. All sorted - and Kornel's great online manual provided the pics and the torque settings to help me on my way.
What a great forum - this is the first time I have posted and the response has been helpful and generous. |
