Is this a common sound.. or is there an adjustment I need to do to the inner guts of the transmission? again,,it sounds like it is from the internal of the trans..but while riding it is really hard to tell..so I ask the experienced riders.. have you ever heard this sound.
At first i though maybe my chain was lashing somthing,but I checked everything near and around it,nothing to hit...then i thought maby it is a loose something..but everything is tight.so i am just speculating that it is internal on the trans.
Thanks for the cable update...I have heard a couple of times, a sound like a "marble" bouncing around in the case. I was leaning towards the chain striking the lower part of the rear fender, which is fiberglass and would produce a different sound. Again, i've only heard it twice and keeping and eye on this issue.
