Just got it firing!
So, I bought this Black 06/07 1200 Sport back in May with 18000 miles and everything has been great, especially when I put new tyres on her...but 4000 odd miles later and under engine braking I'm getting a noise like a worn bearing. When I clutch the noise disappears. On a neutral throttle, also no noise (that I can hear)...but noise comes in as soon as I ease the throttle off slightly. I think it's noisier in the higher gears, if that means anything.
I've been told the clutch when idling rattles a bit...not sure if this is related or not.
Anyone any ideas what the issue might be? I'm not a mechanic but I'm not afraid of a spanner...so I'm tempted to start dismantling from the final drive and work my way to the gearbox and clutch. But if there's any tests I can carry out to pin-point the issue, I'd be grateful for your help.
Thanks,
Colly
