hi all,
- have been getting this issue a bit more recently, I am going to send my bike back for warrenty work as the bike will not go into neutral on standstill, so the bike has to go back as I cant be having this!
1) but in the last week or two I have noticed on downshifting (3-5k RPM "roughly") I have been getting a screech from the bike as I release the clutch changing down gears. at first I thought I thought as I let the clutch out my rear wheel was jumping and skidding for a split second resulting in the unmistakeable split second tyre vs asphault screech. But thinking about this I cant really see this being possible, have spoke with a few people who have given me worrying looks :/, as they may think it could well be the clutch itself making the noise on the clutch release. Someone said it could be a loose chain as chains can do weird things to a bike when loose, so I adjusted to the 35mm travel as indicated on the swingarm, but no fix, still getting the screech, I cant really see the wheel skidding to make the noise for that milisecond of clutch release, anyone

2) Does anyone else notice a bubbling noise from the front brake when pulling it in. (sounds like a small air leak under water or if you had a punctured innertube, really hard to explain)

had similar issues or want to share their worrying concern?
advice is required I think

thanks all

the only squeak I get is from the brakes. Get it looked at

that means I gotta change my pipe back over to standard and be without my transport for however long it takes

 

[Top Gromen]

Why do you have to change the pipe? That wouldn't affect anything in the clutch or tranny so there is no warranty concern.

 

[JackDempsey496]

Surely changing the pipe would void the warrenty?

 

[Mongoosejoe]

Unless they can prove that the problem directly traces back to the aftermarket part they can not void the warranty for it. You should be fine leaving the pipe on.

oh fantastic cheers

Have you tryed rev matching when you downshift...

the only time i get a screech noise when i down shift is when im going fast and i downshift and it slows the tire too much and it skids for a second

In the same situation when ur down shifting, try not down shifting an while applying the front brakes slightly apply the rear brakes until it makes the rear tire screech. Compare screeches ill almost guarantee ur screech is the tire screech. Never once in my 9yrs of riding have I ever heard a noise from the clutch that I would categorize as a screech. Maybe there's a chance if it was a dry clutch. But I've only has clutchs slip an that don't make a noise.
