kaleb Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 When I pop my bike into neutral from 1st and release the clutch(only while it's running) the engine sound suddenly gets louder. Has anyone else noticed that with their bike? It's also a brand new bike maybe that's why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChicagoAJ Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Every bike I've owned has done this, just the way they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duenan Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Talking completely on assumption and out of my ass, drive gears have a resistance on the engine because its physically turning something. When in neutral, there is no resistance, allowing the engine to run faster (higher RPMS= more noise). Cars do this as well. Except many cars have natural insulation from the engine as well as many automatics don't have tachometers. Engaging with people that have personality disorders on a message board is like arguing with a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrien Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If you pull clutch lever back in does it quiet back down? If it does its the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 It's normal when you pull and release the clutch you are adding and releasing end force on the clutch and it's shaft and going into neutral unlocks gears from other gears and shafts nothing to worry about.

reboot Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 As others have stated completely normal. Every bike I have had has made this type of noise. Throw on a nice open exhaust system and you will not need to worry about that sound anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 It's common to see the rear tire start turning if you have you rear tire off the ground, in 1 st gear w/engine running and clutch in. Put it in neutral and it stops. Don't sweat it. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
