Have you not got a local bike mechanic that can have a quick listen for you?
The chap who did my chain did and said nothing to worry about. It's really annoying though :/

Took the water pump off earlier
No tapping
Put it back with no bolts
No Tapping
Tightened it all up, back to tapping.
Ordered another water pump and will see what happens, but it looks promising. Fingers crossed!
Are you missing a gasket at all?
Not that I'm aware of?

It's all since this damn chain snapped on me, that said I hadn't had it long when that happened, 5 weeks I think. Since then everything seems to be a repercussion of that. Shame, as it's nice. Don't wanna sell a lemon on and now im this far I'll just sort it and know that all the work has been done  Be a thou in a couple of years maybe

Bad news
Fitted the new pump and topped all the coolant levels up where they should be.
Tap tap tap as usual, perhaps a touch less if anything.
Where does the shaft go? What runs it and could it be this?
Thanks

I tried it, but I'll be honest it's hard to gauge and really really hard to tray shear what area it's from. It's definitely low down but there's a lot of sort of like echo making it seem all over the place, a bit like a wheel bearing on a car, always seems different places.
Wouldn't be surprised, as I said it was second hand last year. Did notice a drip or 2 of coolant near it but nothing on the floor yesterday. It has also just been out so I did put it down to that being the problem

Coolant level was fine last I checked and it's just been topped up again as the water pump was taken off for another job.
The pump was second hand so would make sense
Perhaps I'll gamble and order one.
Can they be had new anywhere? Can't seem to find one anywhere new, didn't fancy yam themselves

It's changed now. I do have the old one here though, didn't know how to measure it without comparing to the old one... And as I didn't fit it.. I can't check. Shame, as it had 2-3 clicks left probably wouldn't have needed doing the time I own the bike  Never mind, onto this problem now Thanks

Tried the screwdriver method, which I guess is similar.
It's pretty hard to trace though
Perhaps I'll order one up
Thanks

Clutch back together lol
There is a noise that does go when the clutch is pulled in, so I've cable tied the clutch in so I don't get confused.
When my chain snapped about 18 months ago, I ended up having to replace the water pump as it was split by the chain hitting it.
I used a second hand part.
It's pretty noisy down there, is this possibly signs of a water pump issue?

Jesus Christ. Odd though and still doesn't explain the rattle which seems to be coming from there :/

Tried this. Clutch area taken clutch out It's all to shit and rattles. What order does it all go in the basket? Should the plates move when the cover is torqued up (8nm)? See videos to describe more but I must have it in wrong now as I can't use the clutch Had a cheeky start with the cover off and the noise is almost certainly in there... There's the clutch rod, a ball bearing then the end centre plug cap type thing then all the friction plates and cover. As above what order should they be in and why do they move? Am I missing something perhaps explaining the noise? See videos: Clutch: http://youtu.be/-eaKqUeiq24Clutch 2: http://youtu.be/yMGQqnW-d08Clutch 3: http://youtu.be/J0f2CP5cOHw

Well Trybthe screwdriver later It has stainless downpipes which were on it when I bought it however it didn't make the noise for the first year of ownership :/

No, clutch makes no odds.
Originally I thought perhaps related with having the clutch and gubbins apart a while ago, though I'm pretty sure I put it all together fine.
When I take the oil cap off with the bike running I can't make out if the noise gets louder or not, it seems to if I'm leaning over the bike and am above, but if knelt next to it I'm not so sure.

Not sure where I'd use it but it's bound to be of some use, I'll take 2 Tins of the red stuff if you pm me the details

It's no worse or no better. No different really.
I assumed it was the chain needing doing, and that was the noise.
Clearly I was wrong.
I didn't do the job but a specialist did.
He didn't encounter any problems or nothing that he mentioned.
I'd imagine the length is right, though how do you know?
How could I even tell this now it's in?
I've cleaned and reset the tensioner a few times myself personally.
I'd like to think he did it again while he had it out. But even if he hasn't, I did it 100 odd miles previous anyway
I redline it regularly, it hasn't settled, and didn't settle when I last rode the bike last summer, before the chain was done only last week
Thanks

Probably never needed a chain then lol though it was nearing the end of its adjustment. Bummer. Well thats done now, but hopefully this isn't major even though it sounds tobe lol

The noise started suddenly also, no gentle happening. Just happened one day I started it and it seemed rattly like this

« on: 17 March 2015, 03:06:52 pm »

« on: 17 March 2015, 03:04:00 pm »
Video fixed

« on: 17 March 2015, 03:02:20 pm »
I'll look into that now re video.
Check down pipes?
I did tighten the nuts up a bit but don't really know what to check for?
Cheers
