Hey everyone, I bought my bike at the beginning of the season and noticed all summer that it has a weird buzzing/metal rattling noise. I realize noises are hard to describe, but I'll try to describe it as best as I can...
So the noise is heard only in 4,5 and 6th gears. Loudest in 5th from what I can tell. If it makes the noise in 1-3, I haven't noticed, maybe it's not as loud.
The noise only happens when I accelerate or cruise. Happens at any RPM, as long as it's in the higher gears.
When I let go of the throttle, the noise stops.
It's loud enough to hear over my loose helmet (need to get a new one) and my TB exhaust.
Kinda sounds like a car with a loose exhaust heat shield, like a rattling thin metal noise.
Noise isn't more obvious from left or right side. Can't hear it at idle.
What I've done...clean the chain assembly many times, including around the front sprocket.
Lubed it with chain wax.
Changed the oil (before I ever drove it actually...so can't tell you if it started after the oil change)
Oil is Motul 7100 10W-40, Full Synthetic Ester.
Adjusted chain slack. Adjusted clutch cable/lever.
Any ideas?
I know these bikes make a bunch of noise, just wondering if it's a "normal" noise or not...
