Hello. My V-Strom has been making this grinding sound reminiscent of grinding gears. It's not the gears, that's just about what it sounds like. This sound happened on my way in town and progressively got worse. I rode a total of 5.8 miles (To town and back) and discovered that this sound happens only at 3500 rpm. The gear, nor whether I was moving or not, did not effect when the noise occured.
My father thinks that the Cam Chain Tensioner might be going.
I've had the bike for about 6000 miles (almost a year) and the previous maintenance history is unknown. My last oil change was just over 2000 miles ago (10-40W High Mileage).
Odometer: 53,911 miles.
Perhaps someone here know's what's happening.
