What to Do About Motorcycle Belt Noise?
1 Answers
Motorcycle belt noise can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Severe wear of the variator rollers. 2. Slipping phenomenon: When there is slipping between the clutch shoes and the clutch bell, remove the clutch bell and inspect the friction surface. 3. Aging: If the motorcycle has a kick starter, over time, the two shafts and sleeves of the kick starter may develop play. The engine vibration is transmitted through the kick starter gear to the shafts, causing knocking between the shafts and sleeves. 4. Timing chain stretch or tensioner failure: Large valve clearance or wear between the valve rocker arm and camshaft, slight scoring between the cylinder and piston, or increased clearance due to piston skirt wear, and issues with the oil pump chain (if applicable).
