Hi All,
I've noticed a worrying noise coming from my 2012 Glee.
- No noise when running at idle, or revving the bike in neutral (so not the engine?)
- Worst in gears 1, 2, and 3, at lower revs.
- Loud tapping at maybe 3-4 times per second, coming from either directly below me, or from the back end.
- Can feel it through the footpegs.
- Fuel economy has gone down from ~55 mpg to ~45 mpg.
- Bike is at 62k miles, service and MOT just done a month ago, everything but valves.
Any idea what this could be? I thought it may be the drivetrain, as the sprockets and chain are looking reasonably worn (done about 20k miles year round in all weathers) but surely this would have been flagged at the MOT? Am I OK to keep riding it until it's sorted, or should I stop and get it into the shop ASAP?
