I still have my FP shadow...the clicking noise it it hen you signal....or does it come from loose chain

[dreamwalk]

while in neutral gear, try clutching in. Is the sound still there?

 

Rev the bike abit, let it warm up for 3 mins or so, is the sound still there?

Its like finding a needle in a haystack.

Now, how can someone tell where the irritating noise comes from when you can't even hear the sound of the bike's enjin from this forum, eh?

 

Isn't it better to meet-up with the thread starter n maybe from there can give him advice OR mayb the thread starter join any of the forum's meet-up session? Worst to worst, can make new riding frens mah.

 

Sori dun get mad guys, its just an opinion

 

p.s I always wander, is there actually a "human face" behind all those forum niknames?

i had this same problem too and have identify where the sound is coming from. It is actually my exhaust pipe hitting the nut at the rear wheel whenever i rev the throttle. You can try one simple experiment. Try pressing your exhaust hard against the nut and rev your throttle. If the 'clinking' sound is gone most probably you are facing the same problem as me.
