OK I took the bike to Bike-tec in Tamworth for chris to cast his eyes over.

He agreed the clutch was noisy but was more concerned about a noise from the generator side. He though the retaining nut had come off and was allowing the rotor to wear the stator?

No comment on engine smoke abnormality.

I thought the generator locknut coming loose was a pre-1999 engine problem? Can I id my engine year of manufacture from the serial No?

Bike is on an 02 plate and has Showa/Ohlins - could the engine be old stock?

He suggested I did not ride the bike anymore so I will be asking the dealer to collect.
