almost definatley would be the clutch release bearing fork... they get coked in powdered clutch lining material, trouble is you cant really grease them or clean them up while the gearbox is in situ without the risk of contaminating the clutch plate linings

Oh that's what that squeak is. I've had it for years.

wont really effect anything, just more of an annoyance

First of all try greasing the operating rod, especially where the rod bears on the fork...there is a ball joint there that goes dry and needs a spot of grease every now and then.

thanks for your replies guys,much appreciated
