Update today: clutch issues? More videos



Had my cam chain done due a rattle.
Seemed obvious as the tensioner was almost near the end.
Had a service at the same time all done by a specialist local to me.
The bike still taps, I've been told it definitely isn't the chain, it's a more frontal noise low down.

Hot or cold makes no odds.
It's not that bad on idle, anything more and you can hear it, hopefully it can be heard In the video link.
Anyone had anything similar at all?

Thanks

**excuse the original thread being on an attached picture. This stupid ipad wouldn't submit it and I kept re typing and it wouldn't work so I've posted that, and edited this post to say almost the same thing now. I love technology.

I got blue tooth, radio , hands free phone calls. also the wife chatting on the back.

Same question to you mate cheap one or expensive?
Cheers

That seems decent enough

Is that proper wired radios or wireless bluetooth  jobs?

Will get searching. They're starting from around £50 up.

80 plus is just when I'm blipping around never a constant speed really so that doesn't matter.

I'm pretty steady with the other half on the back.

Cheers

Those look good
Intercom wise though, I take it there's no push to talk feature or anything, they just hear everything you say and stuff?

Little pricey possibly too, as I'd need 2 obviously

I see.
I won't be able to get a pic I've tried taking one before and the camera doesn't pick it up its that thin a crack.

Half of me thinks I should but a decent used engine and be done. Cam chain needs doing and finding cases won't be easy.

Then there's the rebuild which I can't do myself.

All adding up on this engine :/

Fair question. I think mine is endless  but I bought  the extra soft link.

I'm assuming a lot  of extra parts are required though?

I've done about 500 miles all year it's been stood now for 2 months at least

Only 2 clicks  left on the tensioner though so advice from here suggests it needs a chain glad yours has gone over though

That seems fair to me.

Is there a train station near by?
Probably have  to drop it on a Saturday and collect the following Saturday if that's any good?

When's best for you really as I'm in no urgency as it has no tax or insurance at the moment but I can sort those out easily enough

Cheers

What would you charge? It's actually tempting.. my brother lives in Peterborough so not actually that far from you if I remember correctly?

I do apologise if this is in the wrong place.

I bought all the stuff to do my cam chain and have decided I don't really fancy the job.

I'm in the Wiltshire Somerset area and don't mind dropping you the bike within reasonable distances.

Anyone fancy it?
Split link chain so no engine out or engine split business.

Cheers guys

Off you go then chaps, get writing

Phoenix sub some of their larger jobs out to an ex mechanic who's gone on his own.

I think I'll do the job myself, looks like I'll need a torque wrench and chain tool, then I'll do almost any job myself.

Phoenix forgot to charge me for my mot and it passed with no advisories which I was chuffed with, the service is second to none also, I've bought all my odd bits from there, when my chain snapped I needed clutch rods, seals, gaskets and some fiddly bits, they were astonishingly willing to help, but slightly pricey on some things, main dealer prerogative I guess.

I don't like garages with reputations of bodge, I can bodge anything myself and if I couldn't I know someone who could, sod paying the going rate for a job to get a bodge.

Terrified of paying for the job to be done by a total bodge artist, I'd sooner do it myself over a whole weekend, save my cash and know that at least I don't have a handful of bolts left and the like..

Still looking for recommendations on chain tools that'll work for this type of chain, and now a reasonably priced torque wrench 1-30nm or more range also... Lol

Thanks

That sounds fair comment to be fair. Perhaps I'll see if I can borrow one though don't mind purchasing one if it'll actually do the job.

Brake fluid needs doing anyway so will change the lines and if I decide I don't like them ill fit new oem  ones to replace my old standard ones

I've read the k and n is a good option though yet to find a definitive answer as to why, apart from not having to replace it ever again just clean. ..


Cheers
