01 kat 750 16xxx miles. It has developed an odd noise in the past few rides. I can hear it in any gear. It doesnt do it in neutral. I think its a tranny issue but im not sure. The nosie gets faster as the bike gets faster. It amost sounds like a stick in a bicycle wheel. Thats the best way to describe it. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.

At speed, how many times per second does it make that noise?

If the noise disappears in neutral (while in motion), check to see if the noise disappears on negative throttle (i.e. - if you're at 40 and close the throttle, does the noise go away/change? What about it you pull in the clutch while in motion?).
Odds are unless your oil is particularly low or you've ruined your tranny output shaft in an accident, it's just your chain/sprockets/swingarm interacting, as the others said.

The noise goes away on negative throttle. If the bike was in an accident, it happened before I bought it. Chain is tight. I adjusted it yesterday to make sure it wasnt the chain. I'll check to see if the chain is hitting the swingarm.01 Kat 750- daytona blue, black and gunmetal powdercoat, yoshi RS-3, 03+ tail section , Barnett Kevlar clutch and springs, 8k HID's, racerback seat cowl, polished lips and painted rotors, tinted windscreen, lowered, smoked turn and tail lights, intergraded led tail light KatRiders decals,184 White leds!

I figured it out. When I adjusted the chain yesterday, I didnt take enough slack out of it. It was hitting the bottom of the swingarm when my girlfriend and I were on it. All is good now. Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you.01 Kat 750- daytona blue, black and gunmetal powdercoat, yoshi RS-3, 03+ tail section , Barnett Kevlar clutch and springs, 8k HID's, racerback seat cowl, polished lips and painted rotors, tinted windscreen, lowered, smoked turn and tail lights, intergraded led tail light KatRiders decals,184 White leds!
