2009 FZ1 Grinding Noise At Low Speeds

Hey All,

Just returned from a 1400 kms weekend trip with a few friends.

On the way back - noticed a strange grinding noise at low speeds. On idle, the engine sounds perfectly fine and high speeds is fine too. Gear changes are smooth too and when doing between 55 km/h - 70 km/h (Normal street riding) and in gears 3/4 - I can hear a strange grinding sound coming from the engine. And it seems to vibrate a little bit more than normal. We all know that the FZ1 does vibrate a bit more than other bikes but this one is doing it a bit more at these low speeds.

ODO is around 54000 KMS (or 34000 Miles) and was serviced at 50000 (As per the factory requirement).

Anyone seen/heard this or has any suggestions?

TIA.
 
Hi lazy libran

Did you source the issue of your vibrations and grinding noise? Having low speed noise and vibrations as well, clutching in seems to reduce it.
