"Metallic" noise
11/14/11 at 11:39:47
I have a 2008 S40 w/7900 miles; last week after an 80 mile highway ride I noticed a new noise coming from the back when riding at low speed (25 to 35 mph) when shifting on second or third shift.
I checked both front and back drive belt pulleys and neither are loose, also checked belt covers, muffler supports, etc. and could'nt find anything loose or rubbing when moving.
I have the stock muffler and think maybe something inside the muffler is creating that noise, but I think there are too few miles on it to start corroding inside.
It sounds kind of like thin metal pieces vibrating or scratching.
Have you had experience on how long stock muffler could last? or with this kind of noise at low speeds?
Thank you!

If you can't find anything check your cam chain.

OK, I checked the noise video on youtube and chain knocking is different from what I get. Anyway I will check on my camchain to rule it out.
Thanks, V1!

Check to see if there is clearance between the front of your belt cover & the front drive pulley cover. There is supposed to be a little pad between them & on mine when it fell out it would vibrate at certain rpms & sound like it was about to come apart.

I had some metalic noise in the rear at one time---the licence plate +/or holder was vibrating and rattling. I also had a rattle where I had to shove some rubber gas line pieces in between rear fender and those chrome side covers. Also, the reflector piece inside the rear blinkers was rattling. I took off amber lens and had to bend the tabs where the screws go through to tighten them up again. Sometimes it's a matter of search and destroy. Good luck.

The noise happens only when accelerating on 2nd or 3rd shift; when I apply clutch the noise stops.
When I took apart the front drive pulley cover I did'nt see any padding. Anyway I'm going to check all your tips.
Thanks for your help!

Re-torque the drive nut
don't just check to see if it's tight.

You can chase the thing when it is small and vague until you frustrate yourself to death ....
Or, you can simply ride the bike until the noise gets a little louder and the source becomes apparent.
The noise does not seem to have much chance of being a serious item, so simply ride it and keep an eye on the pieces that have been mentioned.
read this for muffler noises -- there are a few we call "the atomic cricket"
(the only sort of cricket that can live inside a hot muffler).

I have what could be a similar noise coming from the rear,.... not loud, nor does it concern me much.
It quit for a while after I replaced the rear tire, but slowly came back. It resembles belt noise, and even tho belt is tracking perfectly, I still think it is.
