Title: Funny sound in gearbox ?
Post by: gerharddvs on January 31, 2005, 05:29:39 AM
I find that when my bike is hot and It's in gear while I'm holding the clutch and the engine idling, theres a funny sound coming from the gearbox.You have to listen very carefully to hear it above the sound of the engine so it's not very load. It almost sounds like when a chain moves over a sprocket or like dry gears but not so harsh.You can almost not here it if you've got a helmet on.
Is it anything to be worried about and if so what could be the problem ?

PS I was checkin the clutch and the weal can move freely when you pull it so it seems to be set correctly

that would be the mice inside, bitching about their work conditions, drop in a slice of bacon, A teaspoon of peanutbutter (crunchy) and a few chunks of apple with next oil change. this should get you about 500 miles before the next squeek

I've got a better idee which might be better on the long term.
I'll open the case remove them and feed them to the cat.
(So much for the working conditions lol)
