Any help as to what might be causing a chirping sound when I shift in the lower gears... as of yet I cannot pinpoint it... but I think it is coming from the primary... thanks
Does it do it when you do anything that kind of jerks the bike when you're riding, say like crack the throttle or downshift?
Reason I ask is because my bike was "chirping" too. I tried repeatedly cracking the throttle while riding to see whatthe problem was. I would hear a"chirp" everytime. Turns out it was the "gremlin bell" I hadhanging on my down tubes.
