Katana Owners Club U.K.

I went for a ride out today found a surge at high speed and what can only be desribed as a graunching noise at low speed, I first thought rear brake had a stone trapped in the pad but on inspection seemed ok! Got it back to my garage slow speed had another look and this is what I found.




I think the carrier is shot too as it shows signs of spinning in there

not lost the spacer between the bearing in the carrier and the wheel bearing have you?

No, I had a second look at the fische as you had me worried then. It is all intact just the bearing has given up and looks like I might have to replace the sprocket carrier to as I mentioned the bearing has rotated in the hub.

On the plus side, I founf out what the clunk noise was when I set the clutch out---------the sprocket not tight on the carrier in the first place. I am not happy with the last barsteward and their fixing techniques, no way man.

look on the bright side, it did not luck up at 80mph

ha ha, when it started surging at 80 I thought it might be the carbs so I opened it up a bit to clear it out lol

Yeh the sprocket carrier is shot sad times
