Screech under heavy acceleration...

[daemonoid]

Just wondering before I go book it in with the garage, but I seem to get a mid-high pitched screech whenever I pull away a bit sharpish. It only happens up to about 10 mph.

I'm not really sure what I'm listening for, but I thought it might be the notorious hyosung cam chain tensioner issue, but the garage who sold it to me said it had been fixed under warranty.

Any ideas would be welcome, I'm not going to diagnose / fix it myself, but a bit of knowledge before I get to the garage would be useful.

Cheers in advance...

Definitely coming from the bike and not the tyres?

Not familiar with Hyoyo's.

Screechs are usually water pump bearings

Clutch plates....

I'm not sure what bike you have, but my old zxr750 used to do that sometimes. It was because the alternator belt wasnt tight enough and was slipping. But, as your bike is prob newer and thus doesn't have one, it is probably the clutch slipping.

clutch plates

if you can be bothered pull the clutch apart and lightly scuff the metal plates with emery paper.

then lightly oil the friction plates as you re-assemble in the correct order.
it should be fine

Agreed with the above.
You will hear the cam chain at idle alot worse than when revved up to speed under load.
My old GT125 has the camchain tensioners replaced, thats more a ticking clicking noise.
so yea, voting for the clutch plates

+ about 4 for clutch plates.
R6 clutch does it/did it up to the same sort of speeds pulling away.. i put it to the plates being brand new (i soaked them first). it did it less as the miles and clutch abuse racked up.

could it be your brakes binding maybe?

[daemonoid]

Thanks to all, clutch sounds likely then.

I was hoping to have a definitive answer from the mechanic by now, unfortunately I had to book the car in instead - noticed the MOT was 3 months out of date :S

Only 2 weeks til payday, then the bike can go in...
