Guest Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Morning all, Noticed this morning but I can't put my finger on where the noise is coming from. When I pull the clutch in and the bike is rolling I hear a tapping noise, if I let the clutch out the noise stops. Any suggestions on where to look first? Cheers all.

Guest Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Shall give it a check later, only checked it a couple of days ago and the tension was good. I did have my front tyre changed on Tuesday, so guess I should check all that aswell..... and I have also recently changed the clutch and brake lever but that was last week and haven't had any noise (at least not like that tapping) until today.

Guest Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Can you feel the noise through the footpegs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Can you feel the noise through the footpegs? No, can't feel it through them. I'll get it up on the stand at the weekend that will probably make it easier to workout where the noise is coming from. take the stone out of the tyre tread Ha. I wish it was that simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 And the tapping noise has gone away. But I now have a new noise. This time I know what is causing the new noise but I can't figure out how to stop it. Basically the new noise is being caused by my brake pads..... the pads themselves are rattling around. So after braking they're moving back then braking again they're tapping forward. I think the copper grease may have caused this so I'm going to wipe them clean and see if it stops.
