Hi there all - im very new to the world of motorcycling so forgive dumb questions
Ive had my Fazer for about 2-3 weeks now (1st bike ever, passed my test about a week before I got the bike) and ive noticed a sort of knocking on the bike - it happens when pulling away slowly in 1st/2nd then when cruising in the other gears around 30-45mph. I can mostly feel it when cruising, as opposed to hearing it, on the left side foot peg (gear / chain side)
It seems to go away if I pull in the clutch or back off on the power and assume that I just dont notice it at higher speeds due to wind noise and that the chain/wheel is actually moving faster (kinda obvious :P)
I did check the chain tension and it seemed a little slack so tightened it (all based on the manual) but the problem still exists (if it is in fact a problem). It seems out of place but I dont know if this is in fact normal operation due to my limited experience.
I did notice a topic on here from someone else who had a similar problem and which ended up being fixed by replacing the chain and sprocket but im uncertain if this the exact same fault or if it could be something else. Plus any advice on mechanics in the Bristol area would be handy
Thanks for any replies
