Being as this is my first loopframe or Guzzi period, I would like opinions
as to a noise I hear in my rear drive. I only notice it when at lower revs
in a high gear, but it sounds like a low growl? Not like anything is
thrashing, but maybe just meshing together. (Perfect example of the noise
would be the displays at auto parts stores with the gears in oil with
additive that supposedly let you see how the additive makes the oil cling to
the gears, wind these around fast, and you can hear what I mean.) I am not
sure if this is normal. I do also feel a vibration in my seat at the same
time I hear the noise. Nothing in first, second, or third, but I do hear it
at higher speeds in higher gears. For instance, in 5th at 3K rpm. Gear oil
level seems fine.
Anything to be concerned about?
