Thanks for all the help guys - I'm taking the Cat to pieces over the weekend so will hopefully get it sorted then.
The afore mentioned local dealership blew me off saying "They were too busy to accomodate me at the minute" :shock:

Cheers All!

Could it be a worn speedo cable? Would that cause it?

I'm a little nieve to these things - Still learning about the "mechanics" side of bikes :roll:

I don't think it is the bearings - There's no "Roughness" in the wheels motion, no unusual shaking under breaking - It's quite, quite weird :?

Gotta get it fixed ASAP as me and me Buddy's are heading down to Cornwall end of the month!

It's booked in this weekend for a check-up (pre-MOT) at local dealership so will probably get diagnosed then.

On another note - Anyone following Croddman's progress will be happy to know he passed his full test yesterday!

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats!!!

This may sound like a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway! What is a Thundercat supposed to sound like? That may seem silly from the outset but I shall explain........ I have ridden ZX6-R's and Gixxer's and they make a whiney/whistley sound as they rev - Very nice!! :twisted: However - The Th...

Puncture Repair Foam in a Bike - Wise?

As a result my rear tyre is now full of Holts Puncture foam. Was this wise or a bit stupid?

Thoughts please.........
