(Resolved) ZZR250 Weird clicking sound

Post by DMonkey »

Ok so i got back from phillip island fine then went for a ride through the nasho yesterday and noticed last night when riding home and today on the when i am using no throttle the bike makes a weird clicking sound
I was fiddling around a bit whiile riding to work today and have worked out it only does it when i am in gear and completly let out the throttle and i am just cruising.
So no sound if i pull the clutch in and just roll along and no sound if im going with throttle on at all
the sound is also worse when the bike hasnt fully warmed up
its a lot quiter when warm
Any ideas.....

does it make the sound when the clutch is out and dissapears when you pull the clutch in? if so then its the clutch basket chattering.....most of them do it and it's nothing to worry about at all :D
