Hello everyone,
I have a 1973 Norton Commando that I have rebuilt from front to rear. The only component I have not rebuilt is the transmission, besides the outer cover where the kick-start is. My problem is this- when I am in gears 1st-4th under light throttle load or just cruising along, I can hear a chatter noise. Under hard acceleration or load it goes away, or at least I cant hear it and it sounds fine. I replaced my chain and that helped significantly but I can still hear something. It doesn't do it when I am stopped and or rev it up, and it also doesn't do it when I am going along and pull in the clutch lever.
Can it be something within the transmission? Possibly a bearing that it starting to go bad in it?
HELP!!!
Thank You!
