Rumble or thrum
This could be nothing. But I'm letting a noise on the RS get into my head a little.
The bike has done about 44,000 miles. It's a late 2015 that I've had the pleasure of owning from new. The past few years since warranty I've done all the servicing myself, even down to camshaft alignment and replacing the shaft drive with a near new one (that has significantly less vibration).
All is good. The bike seems a little less 'perky' but that could simply be down to the fact that I'm doing more miles on my CBR600RR and many of those are on track with all that brings. The bike has had all its regular oil changes, filter changes and plugs etc. even more regularly than needed. Shaft is greased and good. She is well looked after but ridden as she is meant to be.
I'm noticing a deep rumble. A sort of a slightly hollow rumble. I don't think it's cam chain or tensioner related. Too deep sounding for that? It's a steady state thing and doesn't seem to relate to a specific gear or rpm. It doesn't seem to be getting any worse.
The thing is, it might always have been there and it might just be that I'm focussing on it and letting it worry me.
Does anyone have something similar?
