thanks fir the advice so far. Having Spoken to Kawasaki Bolton we think it might be the needle bearings between the drive shaft and the engine, but only having done 12500 in 2 years is this a common fault, the bike is just out of warranty.

The wheel bearings are fine, the noise is not that far back, suggested I change both settings of bearings in the drive drive.

Thanks we did that, just to be sure, no problem with the new pads

On a recent trip to the mechanics shop to have some HH brake pads fitted we both noticed a clicking noise coming from the rear of the bike when we were wheeling it out of the shop, the sound is fairly loud and can be clearly heard ,but not while riding.

I am after some advice as what it could be, the sound is still there when clutch lever is pulled in. really need to get to the bottom of this so if need be can get it repaired, my mechanic thinks it might be a bearing,at some point along the drive train or wheel bearing but there is no movement in the wheel.

Any advice is most welcome, we don't want to be ripping the bike apart if we can focus on somewhere to look.

i am going on a european Road trip in July so hopefully can get an answer and sorted before then,

Thanks
