Tiger Sport Whining Chain Noise

Had over 100mph on my StreetTwin on the centrestand in one moment of madness
Just keep your weight forward and hold onto the front brake


How's it go, "this is why women live longer than men!"

The abs seems more keen on the lower gears so get it up through the box to minimise abs interference.

 

Might be wise to cable tie it back so you don't take it for a spin

 

I came across the same issue some time back, the person had a new chain and sprockets fitted, then straight away it began to whine, when I looked at said chain it was the wrong pitch, although the website stated it was, a new chain and sprockets fitted and the noise disappeared, first I would check the chain is correct as you would be surprised at how many parts are labelled incorrectly.

 

You've fitted the wrong size chain then?

 

If the chain itself is stamped 525 then that's what it'll be. I assume you mean 0.625" not mm. How have you measured it? I've never had any issues with DID chains.

 

Did you manage to find out what the cause was? I've the same issue with a DID X ring, ruled out alignment and tension but bike is in for a service in 2 weeks

 

I think your last sentence might be the case. If I were you I'd visit a reputable local shop and look at another chain and measure it before paying for it.
I've bought my last few chains and sprockets from "Squaredeals Triumph" and not had a problem ever with them. https://www.squaredeals-ltd.co.uk/t...5-122-x-ring-chain--sprockets-kit-27885-p.asp

 

I have also just replaced the original chain and sprockets with jt front and rear and DID vx3 gold chain and its whining too....tried everything so far so just ordered the oe parts from triumph.....hopefully that'll put it right.

The original chain I got 21000 so can't complain.....it just goes to show original parts from the dealer is the best option.....I bought the DID VX3 chain from Kwackies off ebay at £85 and I've contacted them......it's done 250 miles and has a tight spot already!!! So decided to go to my triumph dealer......hopefully it'll stop that bloody noise...

 

2 chocolate chains then.....not good.......I'll await a reply and if not happy with response I'll report them to ebay....

 

Try buying from "Squaredeals Triumph". I've used them for years and never had a problem with anything they've supplied.
