    clacking noise in middle gear area

    Yeah it didn't sound healthy. I'm just wondering what could have caused the bolt/screw heads to break off... only on the top? I had the swing arm & drive shaft off but wasn't sure how to remove the middle gear drive shaft. So I have to loosen the engine case bolts... good to know. I'll take a...

    clacking noise in middle gear area

    New tire technology... best front tire Gen 1

    Hi all, I have been looking at front tires for my 2001 (as I found mine is 10yrs old) With the new technology I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on a fairly sticky tire. I ride fairly aggressively (sometimes). I live in Vancouver, Canada & the weather can vary considerably, so hot or cold...
