Hey hey,
I've noticed a whine on my drivechain, can anyone help me figure out what it is and get rid of it?
It's a 2010 with ~11000 miles on it
I took a quick video. I believe the whine is there all the time, but I only notice it when I'm decelerating when the engine noise isn't over the top. In the video I rev in 4th gear then pull the clutch in so you can hear it without too much engine noise. It sounds as if it's coming from the front sprocket area.
I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly sure the whine began after I changed the tyres a couple of weeks ago (I also cleaned and lubed the chain). Could I have done anything wrong which would have caused this? My first guess is that it could be because the chain is too tight, however I think it looks roughly in spec and I didn't touch this when I changed the tyres - I just popped the wheels off and on again. It sounds like there is quite a lot of chain chatter when I spin the wheel manually - perhaps this could be the source?
Keen to get it solved as it makes me jump when every time I roll off it sounds like a police siren coming up behind me!
