Okay so just looking for any suggestions on where to look for this...

When in second gear going about 30-35mph I notice a chattering noise (ch-ch-ch-ch). This noise is fairly new.

I had thought it might be the compensator or rear primary clutch nut was loose. So, i took off the primary cover, tightened both front and rear nuts, and tightened the chain up. Unfortunately this annoying noise continues.

Please help!

So i found the cause of my mysterious chattering noise... turns out one of the inner airbox cover latches wasn't latched! DOH!
