Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Squeak
« on: 25 June 2016, 05:07:14 pm »
So the thou has been off the road for a few weeks as I thought the Cam Chain needed doing. However, after taking a look at the auto tensioner everything seems fine and well within tolerances But, now a squeak has appeared
- It seems to mostly happen when slowing down and not at all when accelerating
- Clutch in/out makes no difference, nor does RPM - so that rules out me fucking up the cam chain
- New plugs is the only change made in addition to fiddling with the tensioner
- It's more noticeable under 40 MPH - though this is likely due to reduced engine / exhaust / wind noise
- It reminds of when a fan / aux belt or pulley is loose on a car
My guess and assumption is front wheel bearing but I can't seem to replicate the issue when I'm not riding the bike and it seems weird that it would just randomly start after being sat for 4 weeks. Figured I'd consult the foccer font of knowledge before tearing things apart
