Steam Train Noise

Post by hectormedlicott »

Hi, when im riding my zxr 400 it sounds a bit like a steam train going shh shhh shhh shhh! its does it in all gears at all speeds however the faster i go/ the higher the revs the quicker it makes the noise!
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

brakes dragging due to a warped disc, or a tight spot in the chain.

Sorry for the late update. I actually solved this ages ago and it was just a knackered chain with a tight spot. Changed the chain and it's fixed. Thanks for your replies
