Your chain is too loose. Tighten it up.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

I had a chain that threw a couple rollers. I could only hear the noise when I was going pretty slow. Put it on the centerstand, spin the wheel, and carefully look at each link to see if there is one with a smaller diameter than the rest. My $0.02.-2000 "750"

Have you tried lubing it?

This happened only a few weeks after buying the bike. It was my first chain bike and I didn't ask for
before deciding it was ok to use a steel brush to get it really clean
. Well, I know now and you know that will
the O-rings. After doing that I went for a ~250mile ride, and when I started getting close to home I thought I noticed the sound. The next time I lubed the chain I noticed the red dust all over the chain and then read up and figured out what the red dust was from
. During that lube session (
) I also noticed that there were two rollers missing. Fortunately it was at ~18,000 miles so it wasn't like I messed up a new chain.
