Timbo S2 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Whilst cleaning and lubing chain, I noticed that as I turned the rear wheel I could hear and feel a slight click. Any ideas? Chain? Gearbox? Nothing to worry about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Muff Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wheel/sprocket bearings? Worn sprockets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abos Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 did it click once per wheel revolution if so then it is sprocket or wheel bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo S2 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Could be per front sprocket revolution, will check. Chain and sprockets look in good codition, chain tension appears fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudgetBoy Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 You sure its not just the chain engaging with the sprockets? That would make a tick noise as its metal against metal. Its it still there or as bad after you lubed your chain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sennidott Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Oh dear Tim, I'm sorry to say but it sounds like your engine is on it's last legs.

Ian Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Is the bike on a paddock stand when it makes the noise ??? If so see if the inside of the stand cups are touching rear sprocket/sprocket nuts. As the stand may have slipped backwards down the swingarm.

Timbo S2 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Innes, if my numbers were to come up then I'd take you up on that in an instant! Think it's the front sprocket, have a few spare so will change it next weekend. May change overal gearing whilst I'm at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I was gonna suggest that! I've got two wrists that click when you rotate them. Well, so long as you don't have a third that doesn't, you're not in bad shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
