Yeah, I'm Posting in this thread... alot of good information in here, but I've run into an interesting situation that has me stumped:
I cleaned my chain for the first time today, as the rear sprocket was making alot of noise. After cleaning and lubing the chain, I take the bike for a spin, and immediately notice the rear sprocket is super quiet. (yay)
However, after about 10-15 minutes, I notice the front sprocket is making alot of noise. The tinny high-pitched chain noise only comes up when I'm using throttle. When I'm coasting, engine breaking, or using the clutch, I don't hear a thing.
Any Ideas? I'm certain I used ample amounts of lubricant wax....
Is it a whine? My old V-star used to have the same whine as my 6R. A mechanic told me once that most Yamahas whine because of the way they cut the gears in the transmission. Nothing to be concerned about, apparently.
