I do not know if anyone has come accross this before, but when negotiating a left hand bend at about 40mph I am getting a clicking sound from the offside rear. It sounds very much like the clicking you used to get when you were a kid and stuck a bit of card in the spoke of your bike wheel. I am fairly certain it is of minor consequence. I and a Strattons technician have looked at it and have found nothing amise. The obvious thought was the anti rattle shims in the brake pads, but it still makes the noise when braking. The other idea is possibly the build up of dust in the brake disc cooling holes, but as above, it would stop when the brakes were applied? It almost sounds like something plastic is clicking. I am not aware of the noise at higher speeds.

Get the wheels off and give the hub and wheel mating facing a nice clean. Job done!
