Hi All,

yesterday I was gonna lubricate my chain on my FZS 600. And the rear wheel has not turning freely.

On center stand and in neutral the wheel turns free and fine just a little say 4 inches and than suddenly stucks and stops to the point you can't move it with hand, two hands or foot at all. Happens in both directions.

I have removed the rear brake caliper - same problem it stucks.


I have tried the same with clutch pulled in - same problem. When in 1st gear with clucth pulled in the rear wheel does not moves at all eceb an inch. In neutral moves few inches.

The bike rides and feels fine when riding. Clutch seems to engage and disengage the same way it always was before that issue.

Can't lubricate my chain though.

Any ideas what may be the problem?

Thank you in advance.

cheers
Val

Have you any chain slack when the wheel stops?

Hard to see the bearings could be that bad without making alarming noises when ridden.
Brakes seem ruled out so could the chain be on it's last legs?
Again it should be getting very noisy before getting to the stage where it can hardly be forced round the sprocket.

If you slacken the adjustment enough to lift the chain off you could rule it out.

More than likely a stiff link or 5 in the chain.

Do this. Move the chain off the rear sprocket and off to one side then spin the wheel.

Thank you all.

Ok that may be the case or something in the rear axle. I have ridden 20 minutes with low pace than have stopped at a garage. The guy has loosen the rear axle bolt a little and the wheel moves freely.

Either bearing or something else hapenning there. And the bolt and the axle were both very warm.

Left it with the mechanic it is too complicated for my skills. I know you will say its easy to change bearing, but I do not have the tools and prefer a mechanic to do that Very Happy

It's amazing how many people have had problems like this after some partially trained monkey mechanic has impact gunned the rear end to death replaced a tyre.

This is why I remove and replace wheels myself for tyre fitting.

Update: Just have called the mechanic - it was sprocket gearing fail. I have asked him to change the other two wheel bearings there too. Soon I will have almost new axle Very Happy

Did you ask the technician what caused it?
