Im just gonna throw this out there not knowing much. Throw out bearing maybe? Im sure others will be along shortly.
There were several mentions of universal joint - excuse my ignorance here but are you talking about the uj's on the driveshaft ? I ask because I've had this and the rest of the back of the bike apart dozens of times in the last few months.
Ok , quick update after a test ride. The noise is at the point of clutch release , it is a rather unpleasant mechanical protestation noise , loud enough to hear through earplugs. And when it happens the clutch grabs and the bike lurches forward. It appears to have got slightly worse.
Hmm, I should of read that post before I got the socket set and shandy out. But to be honest things have gone well. I chocked up the sump. Took off headers and injectors , unplugged a few wires. Front subframe off , starter off , undo bell housing nuts , give it all wiggle and its opened up. At this stage I've no idea what I'm looking for , I was hoping a broken piece would fall out the bottom . Gonna look at some pictures in the book just to check it all looks like it should .
