Hi guys,

Yeah the chain is adjusted fine and the tyres are practically new. The knocking feels like is coming from the engine somewhere and its hard to pin point it as it only happens when when the bike is moving. I'll check that everything is tight 2moz and i'll the from and rear wheels off to make sure all is well.

Could knackered clutch plates cause a knocking noise if there were fubar? Just trying to think where and why this would happen. When i collected the bike, the spanner before me over filled the oil and i had to drain about 1ltr out because he filled the oil up on the side stand. The gears are a little clunky and when the bike is cold it can be difficult to shift.
