hi


im jamie i brought a bumble bee 2002 fazer 3 4 months ago


not had a issue with her at all apart from the past 1 months.


ive been getting a whinning noise coming from the engine. it happens when bike is rev'd but only in gear at around 3/6k revs.


if i pull the clutch in the noise dissapear's.


so ive been tinkering around i removed the clutch cover near front sprocket and the gear shaft moves and has around 2/3mm play.


so im thinking that the gear shaft bearing gone or a bearing inside the gear box has gone.


im wondering if any one has had any other issues with this time of problem and is there a fix for it.


my only way i can see it being fixed it to split the crank case and replacing the bearing.


which is a big job in its self.


thanks jamie

The gear boxes do generally whine on these bikes anyway, it was the main reason i wanted to change the exhaust when i bought mine to drown out the noise.

thanks for repsonce well took a trip to local yam garage they said same thing and to also check my chain tenstion as that can increase sounds of whine. got home 15 mins later and losen chain a little the sounds has 3/4 gone very small sound now just need go for a cruise to see if there on a longer run

That'd be adding weight though. He'd be down 1bhp. You need to angle grind a few links off the chain.
