hi there this posting is probably only going to confirm my worst fear but here goes:-
i just gave my bike an oil change and check over then went for a little blast out where upon opening her up i began to hear a harsh bearing noise coming from the clutch area of my engine!!!!!
so i pulled the clutch and hit the kill switch then pulled over,re-chercked the oil level and began to hope she hadn't seized.so i started her up again with the noise still present gave it a blip on the throttle (rightly or wrongly) wher the noise went away.so i nursed her home where the noise was intermittant and not altered by the clutch operation.

DO THE GEARBOXES GIVE ANY TROUBLE OR HAVE MY MAIN BEARINGS JUST GONE SOUTH
