15,000 miles and slight humming/clicking noise
15,000 miles and slight humming/clicking noise
could this be the front wheel bearing? How long do wheel bearings last and do i need any special tools to remove them. I popped the bike into neutral and switched the engine off and rolled down a hill and i could still hear the noise. |

Re: 15,000 miles and slight humming/clicking noise
It sounds like your chain and sprockets to me. Take the cover off the front sprocket and have a look I'll take a guess that the sprockets nicely hooked and the noise is the chain as it comes off it...
If it was me renewing the chain and sprockets I'd change the gearing slight (46 tooth rear) but it depends on the type of riding you do. I've never been one for sedate bimbles.

Just re-read the post probably not the above then. Last edited by SUPERSTARDJ01; 23-08-11 at 01:42 PM. |
