My FZS1000 clutch works just fine and the gear change is exactly as it should be. However, an odd noise has developed – can anyone help? When shifting down from third to second and second to first, I occasionally get a ‘screech’ exactly at the shift point with pressure on the gear lever. It sometimes also has a quick shriek when you press the starter.
I’ve had the cover off and checked the pull bearing and it seems fine and smooth when pulled (bike has only done 25K). Does this sound like a clutch problem or something in the ’shift’ department?
UPDATE - I'm rebuilding the clutch with a new main roller bearing, not that the old one was completely shot.
