Hi,
My z900 SE is currently 5 months old with about 3000km's on it. Recently, i noticed that there is noise coming from the left hand side (sounds like metal rubbing against metal / plastic) above speeds of 60km/h. Also, some rattling noise can be heard when i depress and release the clutch w/o engaging the gear. Anyone else feel the same? Worried that something is wrong with the clutch / drivetrain assembly. |

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Apr 15 2019, 08:59 PM) How often do you lubricate your chain? The bike is factory standard, nothing changed till date. I'd lubricate my chain every 2 weeks on average. Just done the second service last week with Kawasaki Full Synthetic Engine Oil. The sound starts after the service. I'm thinking about bringing it to Kawasaki dealer here in Miri over the weekend, hoping they can sort it out. But then, anyone else face the same problem here?For the clutch, did you change your levers? If yes, have you properly set the tension? If not, did you fiddle with the clutch cable tensioner? And what oil brand and weight are you using? Kinda hard to guess, try posting a video of the issues you're facing, or just bring it to your trusted mechanics to check if there is a problem.  |

Update : Brought it to Kawasaki Service Centre and they say the noise is from Chain. If don't want the sound then change chain which is not covered under warranty.Took it to another mechanic and he says the same thing, normally happen to those manufactured in Thailand. |
