slunge

thanks for the reply - that kind of answers my question, in that I was aware of the adjusters dragging the wheel back (exactly what I did after putting chain back on the drive, and pulling wheel back). I just expected there to be some limitation to stop the wheel dropping back - unless thats literally all down the axle bolts etc - i noticed it had a slight play to move forward but that was before tightening up the axle. On the clip front, have found 2 pic references to the location, its actually one of the brake springs (see on brakes breakdown and on caliper diagram) - in case anyone else has a similar issue:

that does makes sense - it was in that area as the wheel was rolled ou - im currently commuting on the bike, and the brakes seem ok - slightly concerning if this should be in the assembly. having just rechecked the manual and now more specifically the brakes - it does seem exactly that, thats for pointing me in the right direction... now just to decipher whats happening with the rear right alignment.

Hi ALl been a few yrs since I last posted here (was on a 125 back then - now riding a 2010 XJ6 S). Took the rear wheel off for a tyre change last weekend (mission in its self!) - as I pulled out the rear axle, and took off the brake caliper / abs sensor, this clip dropped down to the floor. for the life of me, i cannot find any reference to it anywhere in the service manual or any diagrams!? Slightly worried as I have now reassembled the bike and everything seems fine - just hate having this spare without knowing what it is? One thing to note is, on the right hand side (brake/abs side) - the alighnement screws at the back of the swing arm, while tight and preventing the axle moving towards the front - does not seem that secure to prevent the axle sliding back towards the rear (its much more secure now i have torqued up the axle bolt but still doesnt seem as secure as the other side which I did first while setting chain tension). Was wondering if the clip perhaps lived as part of that housing to stop the chain drive adjuster moving forward??? Any help would be great!

Hi All had a few issues with my late 2006 jog r i have just bought, fixed most but have one last issue before heading off for MOT - Ever since i bought the bike, it initally started fine and rode ok but half way on the ride home, lost power on hills or whenever the throttle was opened more than 1/3 of the way. Since getting it home i have done the follow - with the following outcomes: Changed Spark Plug - No Change (although the HT lead appears to have a sparkplug cap stuck in it and i had to screw the new plug in to it removing electrode from new one) New Battery (fixed electrical probs, inc button start but no change to riding) Removed and refitted exhaust (had to get to brakes anway) - when riding the bike with the exhaust loose performance was the same, since putting it back on fully tight with no leaks, new gasket, problem appears worse, engine literally dies within 10 seconds of applying any more than 1/4 throttle. Removed and cleaned carb fully and checked fuel line for flowing fuel - if anything this didnt help but made it worse, it now starts perfectly but has real problems revving Changed the length of throttle pin in carb by moving clip up/down - no change Fresh tank of gas - no change Tried altering idle speed, and mixture - after cleaning carb it was idling slightly rough, though changing idle only seems to make a difference when cold, adjusting the mixture just seems to alter how far you can rev it before it dies, and weather if you release throttle if it carrys on running.... almost seems like engine is flooding. Last symptom is that when you first start the bike, it seems to be ok, within 20 seconds is when the problems get worse as things begin to warm, apparently bike had been sitting without use for few months before i purchased it, and i think it might be highish milage (think 10kish), when i removed carb, someone had disconnected the choke (maybe mistake not to reconnect) - having it connected or not makes no difference. Any suggests on things to try would be appriciated!
