    have you let the bike out of your sight? someone may have fitted a turbo without you knowing? :w00t:

    was it running? did it only do it when you were pushing it backwards?


    more than likely clutch or brake dust, nothing to worry about, it could possibly be an output shaft bearing, slightly bigger job but no real problem to change.

    if it does it in both directions its probably the imput shaft bearing (smaller and higher rpm than the output so usually goes first) if however its only when wheeld backwards id also say clutch related.. check the whole thing for snapped springs/contra spring length, torque driver pins/seals an mnake sure its greased.

    hmmm need wobbly down here lol think the whole engine might need a good greasing but yeh its only when i reverse it... altho when my bike goes forward... when the bike isnt turned on it makes a weired like sound like a remote control being moved when its not turned on.... :msn1: if that makes any sence at all.... just thought it was weired.. but it only does it when it goes fast when its not tunred on like when we have down hill races with the engines of lol

    sounds like your electric start mechanism is sticking.

    good point.. take out the pinion and twist it so it opens.. then squirt grease with a small peadactric serynge inside.. it should spin out and snap back if you flick it left to right by hand. also put a tiny bit of grease on the pins that sit in the engine/tranny cover
