Good point. I’ll definitely keep an ear out for changes in the noises the bike makes. Don’t want a seized bearing on the motorway for sure.

Well, that’s a bit of a relief. I guess I’ll think less and ride more!

Here's a link to a video with the noise: FZ6 Noise As to the water pump, I'm going to flush the coolant at some point, and will take a look at it then. Haven't noticed any leaks, though. The oil's almost brand new, Yamalube 10W40 with about 1000km on it, and when I changed the oil, there was no...

I'll try to get a recording of the sound somehow :D The specificity of it happening only in third when on the throttle and no weird noise when turning the wheel in gear either, even in third. I'm almost leaning toward it being some harmonic in the transmission in third gear when the oil is at a...

I tried putting it in gear and turning the back wheel with the clutch pulled in. All I could hear was a faint clicking of the gears meshing and the dogs engaging. No grinding noises.

I’ll check the chain, but I have a feeling it’s not the original one. What’s bothering me though, is that the chain would make noise in any gear? Or could it be some harmonic from a worn chain and a certain rpm at a certain speed? The chain doesn’t have any links that are stuck, and the...

I don’t actually know the mileage on the chain, as I bought the bike in May. The chain was pretty tight when I bought it, with about 1” of slack. The front sprocket is new, I switched it out for a rubber-damped one because of chain noise. The chain was also really dirty, and I cleaned it...

My bike is a 2007 FZ6-N S2, 38000 km on the clock. Recently it’s been making a whirring/winding noise in 3rd gear under drive when moving at 43-50 kph (26-31 mph), rising in pitch, until it disappears after 50 kph. The noise happens only when on the throttle, and goes away when clutched in. And...
