Cush rubbers

In dry? or greased?

Still have a sound that's worrying - changing bearing on hub today, seems a bit of play

Seems to be an 'issue'with putting too much lubrication on the rubbers. Recent posts discuss it getting hot and then leaking everywhere including rear wheel/tyre!!

Mine are sitting in there dry with the Kev rubber packing mod, 10000k's later still as good as the day I put them in.

Ok, replaced the big bearing on the hub at sprocket, seemed dodgy, the hub slides in very easy, too easy for comfort, added slices of tube to take up spacing

I lifted the back wheel and let the engine run in gear, seems it's the chain that's ,aking the noises I don't want to hear, so next thing to be replaced is the chain

You will hopefully hear the clicking sound

Exactly the same as mine. I think it's my chain, as I noticed it's starting to bunch up nastlily. I could be the bottom roller too, but a new chain is on the cards anyway.
Re the cush rubbers - mine has done around 20,000 km since spacing them up (dry) with pieces of reinforced rubber, and - so far, touch wood - are fine. I use some silicone spray to re-assemble the hub, but very, very sparingly for obvious reasons.

Replaced the chain today and took it for a short test drive, I think I still hear the irritating noise

So the search goes on, next I'll check the shock where it connects to the frame and then the engine on the frame

have you checked the guide roller?..

Took it off and cleaned it, perfect condition, wonder if stearing head bearings might not be an issue as well?

dont take offence but has anyone else heard this noise?....

I know what its like to hear a noise...

No offense, my wife as pillion heard it
But she's got no idea what it is, neither do I

Will let a friend take it for a ride and judge
