[QUOTE="Spokes574, post: 1232991, member: 22918"] OK I had this issue about 9 months ago and Rich on the forum diagnoise my issue right off the bat. I was hearing a ping noise coming out of the front of my engine when coming our of conners low speed accelerating hard out of the corner. I thought I had an engine problem. Rich told me that on the CR Al frames the chain could hit the swing arm and vibrates toward the front of the bike making it sound like there is a engine noise. The chain did look like it was ok in terms of slack but I did notice that the mud flap had chew marks from the chain. So I tighten the chain a bit more and THE NOISE WENT AWAY. now some of my friends tell me the chain looks too tight at 3 finger slack but the bike has been riding fine for 9 months now without the noise! Just try tightening the chain a bit more - as a quick test - and see if the noise goes away! Spokes574 [/QUOTE]
