My FZS1000 clutch works just fine and the gear change is exactly as it should be.  However, an odd noise has developed – can anyone help?  When shifting down from third to second and second to first, I occasionally get a ‘screech’ exactly at the shift point with pressure on the gear lever.  It sometimes also has a quick shriek when you press the starter.   

I’ve had the cover off and checked the pull bearing and it seems fine and smooth when pulled (bike has only done 25K).  Does this sound like a clutch problem or something in the ’shift’ department?

UPDATE - I'm rebuilding the clutch with a new main roller bearing, not that the old one was completely shot. 

Now this may just be poor riding on my part but recently I've started to notice that I struggle to drop more than 1 gear without having to release the clutch a little?
So say I want to go from 5th down to 2nd, I pull in the clutch lever, push down on the shifter twice but the second movement has no effect until i release the lever slighty which makes the bike drop into 4th then i can knock it down into third, but not second until i repeat the process. Its always done this every now and again but these days its getting more and more frequent
Im just wondering if this is something that can be fixed with a cable adjustment? Or is it possibly a sign of clutch wear? Or is it just me being too shitty with my down shifts?

My FZS600 was knocked over the other day but the only obvious damage was the throttle grip was loose, as that's what hit the road. Tightening those two allen key bolts on the housing just to the left of the grip, seemed to make it tight. However, I was on the motorway and suddenly the the grip became loose, this time not from side to side as previously but rather as you turned it. So you had to turn it much further than normal to get power. Managed to get home thankfully


I've taken a very short video that hopefully illustrates the issue.  Would be grateful for any advice about how to tighten it up.


Nb those 2 allen key bolts to the left of the grip are tight. Also, the outer plastic around the cable (as it meets the grip) is cracked and looks terrible admittedly, but has been that way for a long time, so I don't think is the cause here.

I've just treated myself to a Cardo Scala Rider Smart H Bluetooth headset to match my HJC helmet. Great bit of kit but now I'm after a cheap secondary unit for my daughters helmet so she can speak to me on the odd occasion she comes out on rides.
Does anyone have any idea if you can buy just a passenger unit or will I have to get another one the same as mine?
Or is it worth picking up one of the cheap Chinese bluetooth comms units?? Have any of you used one of them? Or can recommend one
