Guys and gals

Since owning the FJR I've been aware a what I would describe as bearing noise from the middle gear assembly area. Also last weekend while I had the bike on the centre stand I started it and out it in 1st gear, there was quite a lot of gear noise I put some pressure on the rear tire to create resitance but the gear noise or gear backlash didn't decrease.

This bearing and gear noise may be quite normal as there are bevel gears there but I don't know and don't have another FJR to compare it too.

Do others hear gear and bearing noise from the middle gear assembly area.
