I have a squeak, even when not moving, squeaks with clutch in or out, gets worse randomly as i'm riding. Anyone have an idea? i've just fitted a new chain and sprocket kit last week, chain is nicely oiled.  |

hehe
well its not shocks, rev counter, swing arm, mouse in air filter or oil. Could be something to do with the clutch i guess, i decided to book it into the garage, just to be on the safe side.
It sounds like a chain going round with no oil on it, only mine is new and it does it at traffic lights too.

I wouldn't wonder if the swingarm bearings were dry. It's better to strip clean and re-grease than hope it wasn't that - it's not a bad idea to keep on top of that if you're keeping the bike  |

After scanning through the haynes manual, i'm pretty sure its something to do with the cam chain, possibly a tensioner is broken, i thought it sounded like a chain, but didn't realise there was one in the engine lol!
Any recommendations? should i just get it in bits and see what happens?
