Hey guys!
I'm hoping you can help dialogise if it this an issue or somewhat normal!
2008 F800GS, 24k miles.
So when I'm riding often in first or second and riding with the clutch half pulled in/feathering, whilst keeping the revs constant, my go to for London traffic riding and city cornering, I'm often getting a clattering noise from the chain.
I'm unsure exactly where it is coming from, could be the chain, chain guard or that general area. It's not a noise I get on my XSR700 which I believe I ride in the same manner.
I've had my license for two years and so am somewhat new to the bike world.
Noise started when I first cleaned my chain, this was a week after I purchased the bike so it's possible I was always there but only noticed after.
I did snap the chain guard bolts when trying to take off the chain guard for cleaning, I since drilled out the holes, tapped them and put a new bolt in.
Look forward to hearing from you all!
