Two questions...
 
1) When I'm riding on either a neutral of open throttle I can here a noise that sounds like a plastic bag being rattled from the front end of the bike(somewhere in the front of the engine I think) Is this normal, if not what do you think it may be? My drive chain is all Ok and tensioned OK.

2) I have recently has some braided brake lines fitted and noticed that the front one is rubbing when the bike is on full lock. Its rubbing near to where the one from the brake lever meets the splitter thingy. Is it possible to loosen the banjo bolt to rotate the line very slightly so it doesn't rub? I don't want to take the banjo all the way out just loosen it slightly. Will I have to bleed the lines in order to do this?

Thanks

Come on guys, someone must know about loosening the banjo bolt and moving the brake line!

Don't know what your noise is, but yes, you can loosen and move youtr banjos. But they might leak when you do it, and they might leak afterwards- the copper washers deform to match the shape of the fitment and give you your seal, sometimes if you reuse them like this they'll give up the ghost.

As Northy says, you can do it, just be prepared to fit new banjo washers and bleed the system if it goes pair shaped.

As for the noise, this not just induction noise?

OK guys thanks.

One slight problem, I dont know how to bleed the system.Surely is a slight bit of fluid leaks out it wont make a difference?

It's not the fluid leaking out, but the air leaking in that is the problem.

Mine has always made a strange sound like this and I think it's wind noise through the radiator/fan. If it still makes this noise when coasting, (i.e. with clutch pulled in and revs dropped to tickover) then it may well be that.
