I have a question for the more mechanically inclined. My 02 TBA has a weird noise when I let off the throttle and let the bike cost while still in gear. As soon as I give it a little throttle the noise stops but its very iritating and concerns me that something may be wrong.

Hard to figure this without being there and hearing it/riding it.

Is your chain possibly too tight? Too loose? Does it feel like its draggin?

It has the belt drive on it. It actually sounds like gears or something in the front of the bike. Haven't figured out what it is.

The belt drive I was referring to is the final drive, I haven't a clue about the primary.
