Hello, Just recently got the Fireblade 2011 model ABS. It has an annoying noise coming from what I think is the clutch area. So bike sitting in neutral the noise will only happen if you rev it above 3-4k revs and when it drops below ~1.5k it stops. When driving it only kicks on when I accelerate above 4k and is still there until about 6-7k then I can't really hear it. It sounds like a fan that's rubbing on somthing but obviously from clutch. I can't feel vibration from the clutch case during this. The noise goes away immediately when the clutch is pulled in... Any thoughts?
Depends on how mechanical you are. There was a thread a short while ago about changing it so have a quick search for that. I got my local bike shop to change mine for about £110.
