Hi I need some advice but new to foc so hope it's ok , had my 03 foxeye since 2004 and done 20k ,had an off in 2007 ( numpty jumped a light in front of me ) and bike sat for 4 years until I got off arse and rebuilt her , bike went down hard on right and damaged starter clutch cover , which I replaced including bearing , all was ok but soon after started to get a whine in 4th 5th 6th gears which rises in pitch with revs and bad and I mean bad vibration that feels like a grinding at 5-6 k Rpm , it's so bad left foot peg keeps coming loose ( worse than normal fazer vibe) noise goes with clutch in so it's not road noise , also gearchanges very clunky and sometimes misses gears , changed oil and filter and gearchanges better but still clunky , checked carbs with Morgan carb tune and they are within Yamaha tolerances , got a k&n air filter and under 1000 miles( but 2 years) since plugs,oil and filter previously changed , chain and sprocks done less than 2000 miles and look ok but when it was done by idiots at FWR in London front sprocket come off on way home , didn't think it did any damage at the time but now not sure . Don't know if its related but got intermittent handling problems as well , frame,forks and yokes checked by ins assessor after accident and told me all straight , so if anyone can suggest anything as I'm scratching my head at worried its gearbox related which is beyond my talent and wallet , shame is its in great condition and I loved riding it but now hate it and avoid it like the plague . Any replies would be greatly appreciated
