Newbie questions

[Repoman]

Having now had my GSA for a few days a couple of quick questions;

1. I'm used to the hefty gearbox clunk but what about a slight shunting noise from the shaft drive. To be expected or am I being a clumsy numpty feeding out the clutch?

2. the brake servo seems quite noisy and I'm always conscious of it, particularly at low speeds or say holding the bike on the brake at the lights. Normal?

3. Er..thats it for the minute

The drive shaft comprises of 2 pieces - the smaller of the 2 being at rear axle end.Bit difficult to diagnose that one maybe perfectly ok. put the bike on its centre stand and turn the rear wheel by hand listening for any unusal noise. Noise from pump is normal

Leigh - if that is the Steve that has just started at Joe Duffy's the new Dublin dealership then he has already proved himself to be a top bloke. See this thread for details:
