Drive Chain Noice

[fixitsan]

Well, its still there. Getting a bit louder now. And I do not believe anymore that it is the drive chain. It is from higher up. Very audible from both sides. Decided not to ride her until I solved this or got it solved.

Again, it is a clacking sound as if the side of a chain is rubbing on something. What is internal that could make this sound?. Clutch? As it only happens as soon as I let the clutch out? In neutral and pulled in clutch no noise. Frustrating.

Also had a 'failed to proceed'. Will be in another post.

All great fun, isn't it!

 

Sounds like it might be the clutch basket area from those symptoms.

Nealry every bike or car I've had does the same thing, when in the neutral position and the clutch depressed it's silent, release the clutch you get noise. Often it's a bearing, in a car it's a thrust bearing usually, but on the bike it's possibly loose plates. ?

 

It's an easy job to pull the side cover off and have a poke about
