ok so i got my new chain on today and i had the wine coming from the front as it had before but still the clicking at the back aswell
turns out the chain was fine and the sprocket carrier bearing had absolutly shit the bed
the seals had gone and it filled with shite
Proper shit the bed! I got a full set of bearings to fit soon front and rear , mine look ok but I'm just eliminating sources , I'll be interested to see if your whine is the same as mine at the front sprocket

Have you touched the rear wheel recently at all, as in done any work whatsoever?
And, yes, you need to worry right now, 'cos it ain't normal, if it wasn't there before then something is certainly not right!
I have had the wheel off for cleaning swing arm and rebuilding re caliper, everything went back on properly though, the sound is definatly coming from the front sprocket area I'll try a get it on film tomorrow ( work all day and night tonight )
If you have the wheel off chances are you may have put it back on at a very slightly different position than it has been. This can cause friction on the plastic chain guide causing a buzzing noise until it beds in again, it will go away after a while.
The sounds doesn't seem that far back though, seems to come from right behind sprocket cover, I'll check out the guide tomorrow when I have another listen , I'll put the bike on centre stand with my small bike jack supporting the rear from bouncing and wind it up so you guys can hear it

Job went without a hitch and they seem fine quality, vacuum pipes firmly in place for now , bargain

I went up to the 16t last summer so don't think it's a sprocket issue , I'll try the old 15t and see if it makes a difference on Sunday, chain is about 2 years old with 8000 (there abouts) on it, well looked after and adjusted correctly. Fingers crossed Its as simple as that

Hey i today I went for a little blast and noticed and strange whining noise coming from the front sprocket area that changes in pitch with speed , I can hear it above 40 onwards , do I need to worry or could this just be worn chain and sprockets ?
Chain looks fine because i clean and oil regularly.
Worried about a gearbox issue but the noise stays the same with clutch in or out

i think matt7chunk also runs a 16t
ive just pulled my 14t off and put back my 15t, was good fun for accelerating off the line and hooligan fun but my recent 120mile trip used much more fuel and lost a lot of the top end
might try a 16 if i go for a massive ride down south as most of it will be on the motorway anyhow
Indeed I do, interested to hear about the 17t also, might be to much of a change though considering that's like the equivalent of losing 4 off the rear if I'm correct?

Should be safe for O rings but it's not as cheap as paraffin. 
Isn't paraffin slippery as foc like diesel ? Not something I want near my tyres
Not as slippery as oil?
I had that one coming  Should be safe for O rings but it's not as cheap as paraffin.

You use a paraffin soaked rag to clean off crud then use a dry one after, unless your messy you shouldn't get any near the tyres.
Nice one bandit

Hey , as titled is isopropyl alcohol ok to clean chains without damaging the x rings? , its way cheaper than the aerosol cleaners on the market.

Think we need a rename on this thread ""Tommy v darrsi The bitch off""  15w going in my forks next weekend and hoping to get linear springs matched to my weight when I have the funds, When changing springs will the damper rods be ok or should I do the emulator mod at same time ?
