Title: Annoying noise
Post by: wymple on July 17, 2022, 02:49:12 AM

My 2010 Exciting 500 is ready to turn 20K miles. When taking off, I sometimes hear a little "grunging" type noise for a second, and only when moving away from a stop. Sounds kind of like a bad brake shoe would. Is this a sign I'm heading for a roller & belt job, or something to worry about farther down the road? The bike performs just fine.

in which area?
for example, it may weak montage of topcase. or service keys under seat cargo space.

20K miles.
Is that the original belt? Clutch pads buffed - ever?

All original, never abused even a little

Engine off, up on center stand - spin the back wheel. Hear anything?

No. And the problem seems to be gone now.
