Perthhog,

temp sounds good

Also as far as belt product I tried Inox temperarly on belt, noise went away immediatly. I have been searching for this noise for ever it seems, even pulled out gearbox, replaced wheel bearings inner primary bearings checked out swing arm bushes and swing arm bolts for wear, fucken everything, a drop of oil, noise gone. Fuck me.Belt chirp they call it. never had it. Never heard of it. Learnt shit loads though.

Thanks for your input

Cheers
