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 )

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

The ride will start at 11.00 a.m. from Severn View services, Aust, junction 1 M48 on the English side of the Old Severn Bridge near Bristol.

The parade ride will pass over the Severn Bridge following a route through several local towns and villages then culminate in the town of Chepstow.

The roads and car parks in Chepstow will be closed to other traffic and only open to participants of Hoggin' the Bridge.

This is a charity fundraising event and for you to take part in the ride, along with some 3 to 4 thousand other bikes, all we ask for is a donation.

Does anyone use these type of products in their tyres? Iv'e read the 'FAQ's' on the OKO website and the potential for wheel imbalance puts me off, but i love the idea of it fixing a puncture before you know you've got one. It works a treat on the trials bike but obviously wheel balance isn't an issue.
