indyfjrider Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Anyone notice that 3rd gear (especially over 4K) is louder than the other gears? Sounds like the sowing machine is louder with a slightly higher pitched noise in 3rd. I don't notice it in any other gears. I have 1500 miles on the bike so far. It has had it's first maintenance and the recall work done. I also notice that when accelerating hard from a start that it is difficult to shift into 3rd from 2nd sometimes. Thoughts?

Cruizin Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's just the flux capacitor engaging the maco valve in third gear. Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My clutch has more noise after the recall then it did before I had it done. Grrrr Mine too. It's developed a bit of a rattle. I notice it in Neutral when the clutch is out - disappears when I pull the lever in. Also, it's got a bit of a judder in low revs in 1st when pulling away. I'm going to take it back to get it looked at I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Mine (clutch) is develpping a vibration at the friction point while going after a stop in first gear since the recall .I dont like it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy01 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Mine (clutch) is develpping a vibration at the friction point while going after a stop in first gear since the recall .I dont like it . Mine did that from new and stopped after recall. Dealer said clutch plates needed soaking in oil due to sticking together. Clutch judder is the term used.

Cruizin Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 My FZ-09 does the same thing. All FZ-09's make that noise in third and I would imagine that all FJ's will make that noise too. I have tried loosening chain slack, same noise. When new, the bike also made a similar sound in 6th gear. So, it must just have to do with gear alignment in 3rd and 6th? I can think of no other explanation. Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member johan Posted May 14, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think mine whines more in 6th between 50 - 60 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcophil Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Mines not in 6th between 50-60 mph :-) though got to say this bike pulls from just about any revs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbossm7 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Mine whines loud in sixth gear. I opt to shift into fifth many times in order to get rid of the whining. Seems to go away as I approach 70. I suspect it's just wind noise drowning out the gear noise at that speed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's just wind noise drowning out the gear noise at that speed though. Admittedly, I do the same. I don't put it in 6th much unless i'm on the freeway 65+mph. I only have 5 gears on my other bike, so I kinda view 6th as a touring overdrive. It does seem to be getting quieter the more miles I get on it, or i'm getting used to it.
