Good morning Guys!!
For the clever techies out there, I need help please!!
I've experienced a little hick-up this morning on my way to work.
I was doing 120 (in 6th) on the highway when suddenly i got a vibration, a shuddering coming from below. My first thought was a flat, but I had no problems handing the bike. I stopped next to the road, had a look at the tires and saw they were fine. Then I switched the bike off, started it and pulled off again. Then again, 6th gear @ +- 110km/h same story. Stopped again, started, and off I go. This time I only went up to 5th gear, doing 120 easily with no problems or shuddering. Did this for +-3km, got off the highway, and everything (1st - 4th, 0km/h-80km/h) was fine, no problems.
My first guess would be the gearbox - 6th gear, or maybe the driveshaft? The revs & everything else seems fine.
Thanks guys!!
