Re: Damn Noise

I would have to agree with gingerbeard Pull the clutch in and out with it running and see if the noise goes Away. My bike, I think, needs a clutch basket or plates as it sounds like a muffled dry clutch until u pull the clutch lever in. If it doesn't go away... Get ur trusty screwdriver out.. Well.....

I ride Michelin Road pilot 2's I have no chicken strips on the rear and a couple of mm on the front... I would agree with anyone that says modern tyres are designed to ride this way. I ran Bridgestone battlaxes on my last bike (cb400) nd it was the same story, I counter steer quite heavily, especial...
