    Have lost all power in 5th gear tonight, still engages smoothly but no pull from the engine. 2nd gear clunks when engaging but pulls like normal on roll off 2nd 'kangeroos' like repeatedly stalling. I've also noticed some oil on parts of my chain and huge vibration through the pegs on acceleration and odd burning smell.....all in all i think its f@#¥ed any ideas\help greatly appreciated but think its the end of the bike :'(
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    Gave me a turn there when I was scanning this thread Good luck with sorting the bike and hope you are on the road again soon.

    Dan hopefully you can get it fixed at a reasonable cost, then if I was you I would consider cutting your losses and making a change. Just of late you seem to be having nothing but trouble with it?.
