considered that the noise may be your chin strap flapping in the wind or perhaps your jacket collar etc.? What you describe is very likely manifested from air flow (i.e. leaning over tank you cannot hear the sound, but sitting upright you can, it only happens at 50 mph, you cannot reproduce the sound with the bike stationary etc.), so check anything that may 'flap' in the air at speed.

This is the exact cause of a knocking I had. It stopped when I ziped the collar of me jacket up all the way. I would still be looking for the sound if a friend hadnt asked if the collar slapping me hurt. crazydave _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

My shirt collar has caused this beating against my helmet a speed. It is amazing how loud a little flap of cloth can be hitting your helmet. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa

No offense taken. But let me assure all of you that I have gone over and over all things chain and sprocket related. I have gotten a ruler out and set the slack to exactly 2.2 inches. I also made it tighter just to see if that affected anything, which it did not. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Dahlheimer, MD [mailto:Peter_Dahlheimer@...] Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 6:03 AM To: KLR650 List Subject: RE: [DSN_klr650] Help?
