what's this sound?


Recommended Posts

this afternoon I took a friends bike for a ride and I get this "like grind...grind.....grind...sound/feeling while in gear... But when I pulled the clutch in and free wheel the bike down the highway, the sound stops, what can this be?

at first I thought the front wheel bearings needed greasing ( like a dry spot ) and when I roll the bike, engine off, I did not get the clicking noise on the rear hub. New sound to me.

my friend asked as he just bought the bike and can't figure it out

 

he said the clutch is new about a thousand miles ago.

any Idea's?

 

I'm no bike Guru, My friend james need some help with this one.

Best put it on a jack and then run it in gear, maybe give you a more direct area of the problem. As you describe it, it could be anywhere between the rear wheel and the engine. Sounds in the drive train can change when the forward pressure is taken away.
