Bandit 1200 K6 Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection / Mini Maintenance / FF Oil

Well then,
All that’s left is a test ride and we’re done.
When I rode it a bit at the inspection station, I thought, “Wow, that’s pretty loud.”
Even when I test rode it around the shop… hmm?
Regardless of whether the power is on or off, whenever it moves, there’s this sound coming from the left side—kind of like “Muuuu” or “Nyooo”
 

 
We’ve swapped it out for an EK chain, so let me double-check just to be safe.
It’s a bit loose, but from what I can see it’s double-crimped, so it should be fine.
 

 
I stared at it, spinning it round and round… just kept spinning it.
In the end, it turned out to be the sound of the chain hitting the sprocket teeth.
No problem there. ★
Still, it was a pretty noticeable sound.
I don’t install EK chains very often—is this what they’re usually like?
