Noise after chain adjustment.

Hmmm, funny you should say that. I don't get a noise, but I get a rhythmic vibration off the pegs at 3-4k revs, especially noticeable on the left, like somebody tapping the underside of the peg with a spanner every revolution of the chain, sprocket or wheel. It's not a sharp tap though, it's dull and accompanied by a slight vibration. Speed up and it goes away. It's only started doing it since I got the bike back on the road last month. It's the kind of thing where if the SV had rubber pegs you wouldn't feel it.

I had a similar experience on my 125, no noise just a tapping that was felt as i got up to speed, i had also been playing with the chain before hand. I had the alignment slightly out that didnt help lol.

Before i sold it i replaced the chain and it disappeared. It may or may not be the problem.
