QUESTION: yes still hear it.pull the clutch lever and it goes away,let it out and its back. if you down from 5 to 4th its considerable louder,because thr transmission is rotaying faster
AnswerI would start by changing the fluids in the primary and trans and see if that doenst help. If you still have the noise then I would check the clutch basket nut for tightness. If that is not the problem then you will have to inspect the trans for a bearing going out
Good luck and happy riding
