Strange noise from engine in low revs and various gears

<< < (2/2)

Hi,
     I know just how things seem to slip away with time, My cafe racer was supposed to be finished for Barton Bike Night last year, I could end up struggling for this year, there just isn't enough hours in the day, even if you do nothing!
    Don't forget to check condition of the "splined" sprocket holding washer, and fit the two holding screws with a spot of nut-lock, after that, if the noise persists it may not be good news, you could be looking at the drive end bearing or even bent selecters, best of luck----Ken

I'll be sure to make sure the screws are not going anywhere - thanks Ken.  And Oddjob - I did wonder about wheel alignment (and I think the chain is standard  -but I'll take a closer look).  I thought the alignment was OK but I think the noise only started after I re-fitted the wheel following a puncture repair (certainly wasnt there when I first bought the bike in June - so hoping it's that / the missing screws and nothing more serious (I rode her gently so cant believe that even I can have damaged her in such a short time :( )  Time will tell.)  Thank you both for your inputs - and once I have more I will update this thread.
