Freeballin Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 OK. So Ive done some reading on other threads and it seems i think i know the noise I'm hearing. I just did a new front sprocket rear sprocket and chain. (520 conversion). Anyway, I noticed a whirring noise in pretty much all rpm. I have read that it is because there is no dampening stuff on the aftermarket sprockets and i have also read it could be the new chain wearing into the new sprocket. I had a dealership do the install because i really didn't have the time to do it myself so it should all be done right. And the chain isn't too tight ether. It seems to shift fine and ride great just hearing that whirring noise. Should i just get used to the noise or???? Thanks guys! Oh BTW its a 2003 GSX-R 600.

Zach Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I think you're just hearing the sound of a clean and nicely lubed chain and sprocket set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Metal makes noise, hell, it sings a song. It might just be the changing to new and different parts. Especially if you went with an aluminum rear sprocket, and didn't have one before.At least do this, inspect the work done. Get the back wheel up, and slow spin the tire. Look at where the rear gear teeth are walking through the back of the chain. Viewed directly from behind, looking at the chain. The gear teeth should be nicely centered, if it's aligned properly. If the gear teeth appear to be over too far one way or the other, it's striking the chain, and would make extra noise.Having some new vibration with the noise, is a different story.

jeremygsxr Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 The conuter valve has discombobulated your rectifier modulator, which is leading to the whirring noise you're hearing. Or, if you wear a hearing aid, you may want to check the batteries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
