Hey guys, this is my first post, so sorry if I didn't do it right. I have a 1990 600F. I recently noticed a strange "rubbing" feeling in the foot pegs along with a weird sort of rubbing noise. It sounds like it is coming from the under side of the bike. I have checked the tires, chain, sprockets and everything else I can imagine. I only notice this when I am slowing to a stop without applying my brakes. If I accelerate, it stops. Apply the brakes while this is happening and it still occurs. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Check your chain tension... There is a rubber protector that covers the front end of the swingarm. When you slow using engine brakingit allows the slack to be above the swing arm and it there is too much slack it may rub.

 

I gotta get new sprockets and chain again then.

 

Did you get it sorted out?

 

Thanks for all the help guys, I replaced the sprockets and chain again, killed the noise. Glad it wasn't something crazy.

Thanks,

J
