Whirring noise

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I think you're just hearing the sound of a clean and nicely lubed chain and sprocket set.

Your probably right. I just wanted to post it up here and make sure they didn't ef anything up. I took it to a few buddys and they said to post it up on a few forums and see what feedback I get about it. Thanks to the ppl who helped.
