Horrid clunking crunching clacking sound!!! Fazer Gen 1

Thank you all for the sensible replies.

Chain slap and maybe a leap over the cogs is what happened, I have experienced no ill effects since.
There was a degree of loose chain so I've now taken that in. No play in the cush pads or wheel bearings at the rear.
I haven't had the chance to get the front sprocket cover off to check the retaining nut, that's next.
The chain and sprockets could be original so they've done 18500 miles. Bike serviced at main dealer at 16000 miles.
The chain was covered, and I mean caked in waxy crap when I got it and I cleaned that off to reveal a nice gold link chain.
I've got an oiler on the chain now.
I might order new c&s anyway.
Plenty of life in the front pads.
I really have to pull hard on the front brake lever to get any feeling of actually stopping though, in town it's fine but open road braking is a conscious thought in advance.
I'll investigate alternative pads.

It is a rattly clutch basket, I remember the same on my old CBR.

On a high note I've got some new Renthal bars coming saturday, 'road bike high' in black, should finish off the look nicely - high and wide!!!

Thanks again chaps, this bike is a learning curve after my last one... must get a workshop manual!
