FJ1200 Grinding sensation from gearbox thru foot pegs on overrun only

Evening Chaps, 

 

Sorry I haven't been on the forum much.

Still happily commuting on the 93 FJ-1200.  Only used the car 4 times all winter.  It has been a bit soggy at times and nippy but the heated grips are wonderful.

 

Last few weeks I get a grinding sensation through my foot pegs only on the overrun and slow filtering through traffic.  When I pull the clutch in it goes.

The bike accelerates good, pulls like a train and goes through the gears well.  

It feels like a few cogs or chain do not quite agree with each other on the left hand side in the gear box.

 

I changed lube oil last weekend and checked old oil but no bits (which is a bit of a relief)

 

Any Ideas ?

First option, check your chain is nice & clean & lubed. This one has confused me before now lol.

Clutch release bearing maybe?

Morning,  thanks for your replies

 

Happy to report that shortly after I flagged this up the bike magically 'healed' itself.

One morning went out to start and it sounded and felt like the starter was missing a cog with a loud 'clack'!!!

After that it was gone.

As it turns out I was most probably the self tensioner of the starter chain being stuck in between two settings creating some looseness there for a bit.

That's good to know Dutch, glad you got it resolved. Plus many thanks for getting back with an update, far too many posts remain 'open' with never an update. For the effort you'll find your name on the leaderboard with a thanks from me, and being the Olympics you might even get a gold medal post! 😀

its early days, but you've got a silver medal now...another 'thanks' from someone else will knock me off the Gold!!😆

Hehehe,  yeah I know about the one hit wonders. 

I can assure you I'm not but so far I've done 17K problem free miles on this tank with nothing to report.  

 

Thanks anyway
