hi guyz,

for last 2 days hearing a little noise on my 2K+ KM old R15...very minor sound indeed...when the bike is moving only then this little metalic sound comes up..in stationary state there is no sound even if i rev-up a bit..which makes me believe it's a problem either with dust in brake-pads or the chain...sounds a bit like a loose metal part vibrating...something like, if you over-rev the engine-(only at a much much lower volume scale)...anyone had the same experience..?? please let me know...

taking the bike to workshop tomorrow though..still, few more opinions or same experience from you will help a lot.

thanks.

Clean and lubricate the chain (I recommend grade90 gear oil).
