Foz Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 as you may or may not know i just got my shadow vt125 back. yay but ive noticed that when im half way through a gear at certain revs, there is a weird noise kinda like someone sharpening a knife constantly, it goes again if i rev up abit or go below the revs (i cant tell you what revs it is cos i havnt got a tacho) have any of you got an idea what it might be?

Guest Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I don't know - but that's never stopped me before Does it have a chain? If so it may be a bit slack and is clunking/snatching as the clutch is disengaged.Next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foz Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 already checked the chain, and the noise doesnt really kick into tlll about mid gear so a fair amount of time after clutch is released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I would say your chain has a tight link in it. Ive had the problems loads of times where one side of the chain is tight and then when I turn the wheel and the other side of the chain comes round its really slack.Can you explain where the noise is coming from, are you getting vibrations or anything?Matty.

Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 if it wasn't such a new bike I would look at drive rubbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
