XT 600 Tenere - clanking noise! help...
I have a 86 600 Tenere that has developed an odd intermitent 'clanking' noise. Guess I'm going to have to pull it apart but I'll try and describe to see if anyone can maybe cast some light...
I have noise coming from what I am sure must be the drive. The engine runs and idles really well and is nice and quiet, but when I pull away occasionally I get a metallic grinding / clanking noise which lasts about 2-3 seconds and then goes; its not there all the time and there no real pattern. Oil consumption and engine performance is fine and there are no leaks.
My guess is that its drive related, the bike is going in and out of all gears fine and the clutch seems fine though I'll adjust. Guess the only real option is to pull it apart and have a look but if anyone can guess at what it could be from my super detailed description that would be great!
