Hello
I am writing this because I have a strange noise on my Xj6...
Until 5500km was only the great engine sound...
I started to notice the noise when turning left on the curves ... but now, the noise is constant.
When you have your left leg resting on the tank you "isolate" the noise, but if you move your leg out, the noise is quite high.
It's only present during acceleration. If you're rolling without acceleration or if you puch the clutch, the noise disappears .
Sounds like a rubbing noise during ex: "sszszzzszszs ..."
I put the bike on center stand and began alecrating .. 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... noise begins to appear, but less intense.
It seems that come frome the front drive sprocket or the chain guide .. but it is difficult to realize from where it comes.
The chain tension is correct and the allways verified on yamaha dealer.
The chain is well lubricated with Motul Road Chain Lube.
The noise is constant, and when you put your left leg, the intense noise replace the sound of the engine.
The bike has 5800 km, and the transmission does not show signs of wear. They are like new.
I've recorded the noise with a cellphone.
It 's more perceptible at second 21.

The recording quality is not great, and don't give the idea of the real volume of the noise,
which is actually much higher.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Thanks,
Tiago
