So, I've checked some of the things today:
1. Chain has no tight spots, checked every link to be sure.
2. The chain meshes well with the rear sprocket (yet to check the front sprocket)
3. Engine mounting bolts are nice and tight
4. Checking the two wheel bearings I finger checked for damage and then with the wheel on, side to side and up and down( if that makes sense). There was no movement with nut tightened.
5. The chain adjusters were against the alloy stops both before and after testing (i.e. when everything tightened up).
I'll have another look at the small sprocket tomorrow. I thought it was uniform on each side but will double check.
I've had the bike since almost new (couple thou miles) so bearings, seals, spacers are factory spec.
I have done the check/set/repeat but give I've done all the checking everyone has been so kind to provide I'll I'll have another look at the small sprocket tomorrow.
I thought it was uniform on each side but will check.
I'll see if I can find two long straight edges to check everything is in line.
If I've missed responding to anyone's input, sorry!
Steve - I guess you're and electrician by your response? My dad was one and that's the sort of thing he would have said.
