Hi All,
Need some help, I have an unusual vibration / rubbing sensation coming through my left foot peg which started last week.
On sat I cleaned and checked my chain and all seams ok ie no broken or bent teeth on front or rear sprocket and no play in the front sprocket / bearing, I check the chain for the amount of stretch and noticed that I have about 140 / 145mm of stretch between 10 links (this was measured according to the Haynes manual which states about 150mm max.) I also have done approx. 24000 on this chain so I know that It will need changing very soon.
Just got back from a round trip on the motorway from Birmingham to Luton, when I got the bike in the garage I checked the back wheel and found no play in the wheel bearing and that nothing was catching when I spun the wheel, but I did notice a small squeak at a certain point which I think came from around the front sprocket area.
could this be the chain making the noise as it is almost worn out or the drive shaft bearing?
If it is the bearing what should I check for?
Cheers all
Stu
