We really need to know more about the noise. Is it coming from the drive train and if so towards the front or the rear? Does it have a reverse box? Can he describe the noise - what does it sound like?

Their being relatively new does not help. Some people take them off the bike and soak overnight in engine oil, don't know if tha...

Got to say the new forum is much easier to log into or just open, the old was taking so long the gateway would timeout. In Windows the easiest way to zoom in is Control plus the + sign and Control - to get back, the more you hit the more it zooms. Do miss being able to search all the old knowledge, ...
