SometimesSansEngine Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I know this may be hard to diagnose without being sat on it. But what do you think would cause this noise that's almost like a train going along a track?"> It seemed to go as the revs increased/shifted gear, but as far as I could tell it wasn't specific to any one gear.I could feel any vibrations as it did it, just the noise that was quite obvious.Honda Hornet 2004, in case that makes any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SometimesSansEngine Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Cheers, was from a test ride today and was a new noise to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'd also go with it being the chain or possibly a sprocket nut clipping the plastic chain guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithers Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 First thought I had was that it could be a bit of transmission noise. My speakers and hearing are not so good, so I'll go along with the others who all seem to think chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
