Subject: Rumbling noise


Dear All,  I have what I fear may be output bearing failure in the
transmission of my 40,000 Km RD07.

Symptoms:

Rumbling growling noise at low speeds that is present in neutral with
engine off when the bike is rolling down hill.  There is no change in
noise if I coast in gear but with the clutch pulled in.

I have checked the chain tension which used to be the cause of the same
noise on my Yamaha Super Tenere.  Can anyone make any encouraging
suggestions?

rgds Richard
