Clicking Sounds T100

Hi Guillermo, you're not talking about the ticking noise an engine makes during the cool-down after a spirited ride are you?

If you are, this would be perfectly normal?

 

Yes I agree. My 2010 bonnie ticks a knocks for ages after a good ride out. Even the can crack and tink for a while. Just the beast cooling down.

Mine just groans when I get on and makes a ‘phew’ sound when I get off.

Don't know what you mean. You being a lean mean riding machine.

Joe.

 

That wasn't a hint of sarcasm was it Joe? You know that we "biglads" are a sensitive bunch

I apologise whole heartedly if I upset some one. No it's just Irish sense oh humour. You chaps are the tops and I respect you all.
Regards
Joe.

 

Oh alright then, you cuddly little bunny !!!!!!!

 

If it doesn't tick the problem is with the rider, not the bike

Glad you accepted as I would hate to hurt anyone. You are my family.

It's the retaining lock washer. No concern.

Hi GS, that bent piece is called a "lock washer" and is bent over to ensure the retaining nut does not unscrew itself. It needs to be like that.

Guillermo, what is your chain tension like? Can you pull the chain off the rear sprocket to any degree? I am wondering if you have a bit of chain lash on an ageing chain that is striking the underside of the chain guard. The gearbox sprocket appears to be developing flat valleys rather than the symmetrical U shapes it had when new. The same may be happening on the rear but less pronounced.

 

Hi Callumity, Guillermo said these noises happen AFTER a ride. Just sayin'...

 

I know what he wrote....... but we may be guilty of taking him too literally! I have never known a stationary machine clank! The cooling tinkling is normal enough but a clank needs something moving!

You want to download a sound bite. Put it on you tube then transfer it to the forum.

Check that chain there is no tight spots on there. Also check it is not hitting the brake arm there especially if there is a tight spot chain may be jumping on the sprocket.
