fzr steve Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 hi all, new to the site but i have been searching the forum on answers to my problem. i have a 1995 fzr600r , the problem i have is that the bike has developed an annoying clicking / rattle appears to be coming from the front wheel?. would be grateful if anyone could shed any light on this, most recently put new c&s on as originally thought it was that also new oil filter, plugs etc. the bike has done 34k been serviced regularly . i did change the fork seals about 2 months ago wasn't long after that it developed this problem. wtat makes me think it could be discs or speedo drive is that the sound is not always there but when it is it's quite loud and as if it's rotational if that makes any sense . any advice would be gratefully recieved, i've had bikes for nearly 30yrs now and never experienced anything like this. thanks again, great forum by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Motorsport Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I had exactly the same symptoms on the Thunderace. Turned out to be a knackered speedo drive in the front wheel hub. Which reminds me, I still have to fit it (three months later lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
