I recently changed my oil, sprockets and chain for before the first ride out of the summer on my 2003 CBR954RR last week. (Missed May/June due to school and work) At 3500 rpm a sudden clacking noise occurs no matter which gear I’m in. It sounds like the chain slapping a guard but then at 3600+ or 3400- rpm it disappears. It does not occur when the bike is in neutral and I rev it up to 3500 rpm. I’ve taken off the front sprocket guard and it still occurs. Any advice what it may be? I’m nervous to ride my bike into the ground if it isn’t fixed. I did not use a torque wrench when I tightened the front sprocket down which may have cause overtightening possibly? Or possibly the chain isn’t tight or loose enough? Any advice would be great!
