series 2 200 weird noise/gearing

[bishopsfinger]

I would have thought that would be noisy all the time,I was out on it earlier and te noise was coming and going,no pattern at all,whatever it's doing it's doing it gently ! Sounds like the whirring noise a sports bike makes if that makes sense?

funnily enough I had a similar noise a couple of months back- might be worth checking out that thread:-

If you are certain that the noise is comming from the flywheel side (or only just suspisious) I would recomend taking the flywheel off PDQ as if it is a loose pickup if it or its mounting screw comes loose it will lead to expensive damage

I had an issue on RR4 where one of the plates that sit on top of one of the magnets in the flywheel came away as the screws that hold them in are made of cheese. Luckily French Al had a spare flywheel to replace it. I brought it home and re-glued the plate and replaced the cheesy screw. Might be that.

does it only happen when at the traffic lights while next to a sports bike??
