kwakbiker Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Not the actual tyre is it you can hear. Only ask because on an NC700 unfaired thing the tyre noise is fucking shocking on OE hoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I had this on a 22 and it was chain alignment, I had to buy a laser alignment tool from Sean at TTW to cure it, the alignment marks and other methods I tried wouldn't get it right but as soon as I aligned it with the laser it went away. Also try the sprocket carrier bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
