Hey all, I just got a Daytona 675 and its awesome. Went on a first ride and loved it. Anyway, I have this whiny noise happening. It happens only in first gear and from what I can hear, only when the clutch is pulled in. The noise changes frequency depending on speed. I checked out some youtube videos and the link below best describes the sound only. It sounds almost exactly like it.

My bike is an '07 and has about 6700 miles on it. 6k mile service was just done 40 miles ago. Any ideas? Thanks.

Also, the noise is very apparent when I pull the clutch in.

Im pretty sure the conclusion from that video when it was previously posted was that it was incorrect chain tension/alignment.

Check behind you. It might be your pillion.

Rear wheel out of alignment is my guess.

I've had my bike for about two years and have the same noise, but have never had any issues with the bike on street or track. So for better or worse I've just kind of ignored it.

My only issue with the alignment or chain tension solutions is, wouldn't it make that noise no matter what gear you are in if it was one of those two? And it only makes it in first gear.

I've never thought this as much of an issue but if you guys think it would be then any answer or opinions would be great!

 

[Scottie]

I had something similar and really I only noticed it at low speeds (ie first gear) or when the clutch is pulled in (coasting). It would also vibrate when the clutch was in.

I have no idea why it wasn't apparent all the time.
For me, fixing the alignment definitely fixed the problem for me.

Cool, thanks for the replies. The sound only comes on in first gear. When I coast in second gear, I don't hear the noise. Once I shift down to first, it comes on. It's a pretty noticeable difference.

It's very normal to hear "the noise" in 1st gear while coasting. My bike has done it for over 31,000 miles and not a single issue.

 

[camelgrassjuice]

Awesome. I'm going to check the chain tension as well. Is there by chance a thread or faq on the odd noises that the daytona makes?
Thanks

So, I took it to the shop and they said that sound is normal just like dmarino said earlier. Thanks for the responses. And the chain was a little loose if anything.
