Morning everybody – more advice needed by fellow Foccer!
My bike has developed a noise which kicks in at about 4500rpm and disappears at about 6000rpm. The noise is a buzzing type noise, like a vibration. It seems to be coming from the engine somewhere but cant work out where exactly. It does it in neutral, in gear with the clutch in and while under power.
Initially I though it was the key vibrating on the handle bar to give you an idea of the noise. As for the volume, I can hear it while I’m riding if I listen out for it or when at a standstill it is quite prominent.
Bike isn’t riding any different, doesn’t miss a beat, pulls like a train in every gear inc through the noisy rpm range. No smoke, loss of power or misfire. It’s been doing it about a week or 10 days.
The bike is a 2001 FZS600 which has done a mere 58000 miles. It has recently been serviced, had the valve clearances and the carbs balanced. Not sure if that’s relevant.....
Any ideas gratefully received as its going to get taken to bits today to try to diagnose and would be handy to have some bits to check.
Thanks
