You may have seen my various contributions on the subject of rumbling gearboxes to the email list, where I firmly insist that the rumbling, metallic vibrations that I can feel throughthe footpegs especially when lent over for roundabouts must be coming from the gearbox or paralever bearings. Well, I did some more investigating today, minus my earplugs, and came to the conclusion that the rumble actually comes from the front rather than the back of my 1150. This is based on the fact that I if I put my boot on the swinging arm when I can feel the rumble in a footpeg I cannot feel it on the swinging arm but if I reach down and touch a fork leg I can feel it. Should I jump to the conclusion that the front wheel bearings may be the source of the trouble? Incidently, post-Hawes I now have a nicely oiled final drive gaiter.
