for starters the bike is a 96 shadow 600, it currently has just over 20,000 miles on it.
About a month ago I noticed a faint noise coming from right side, near the clutch. The best way i can describe the sound is like a dirty skateboard bearing spinning, the noise is present when i rev the engine up and it starts to rev down, it last for a split second then goes away. It doesn't matter if the clutch is in or out or if i'm not moving.
The noise was faint at first but then it started to get louder after a couple weeks of riding, then the other day while out riding I got into fourth gear and gave her some gas, as the rpms rose to a certain point i heard what sounded like bolts in a metal can for a split second and then it stopped. I slowed down a bit and then sped back up and once again when the rpms got to a certain point i heard the noise again then it stopped.
I changed the oil at 17,000 about two months before i heard the first noise. I checked the oil level after hearing the noise and it was good.
I have checked the bike for anything loose the would rattle but no luck.
I have drained the oil (nothing metallic in it)and taken the cover off to look at the clutch for anything broken or loose but I cant find anything.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know
