Tuned and Synch'ed
I just picked up a 2008 Breva 750 with 5k on the odo. Very nice and smooth engine.
I notice that when I downshift, there's a slight squeal, like a belt squeal. I thought, ok, like BMW boxers, maybe the crank drives a pulley and belt to the alternator/generator so when I downshift, the belt may be loose and is squealing. That's before I looked and saw the generator is mounted to the crank. But is sounds like a belt slip. Could it be the clutch? The clutch feels fine.
Now I'm perplexed; does anyone know what this is? I figure it's probably something characteristic of the bike and someone will know.
Thanks!
Mike
