Ryan,

Well, it does seem quite possible, although I was only refering to the squeaking noise. Seeing as the fork acts directly on the bearing it does makes sense if the bearing is seriouly worn out. Can you feel the vibration in the pedal? On my 142 I recently developed a vibration that I can feel in the pedal when letting the clutch out on downshifts, and sometimes when accelerating, most noticeably around 2500-3000 RPM in 2nd. Is it anything like this? I have had clutch fork problems before, two broken, and although I haven't gotten around to looking at anything yet, the fork was the first thing to come to mind.
