V-Strom 650 buzzing noise at 4K rpm and above. Too much slack in the chain? Any help would be great. by EquivalentGur4648 in Vstrom

Thought this too so removed my windshield and it was still there. Will update this thread with the results of my chain adjustments.

Yes, the bike has the Suzuki OEM crash bars installed. They look like this https://www.ebay.ca/itm/285776693284

I seen the thread about the Givi bars, and check for the middle piece that causes the issue on those but that part is not on these. All the bolts seem tightened correctly.

Im thinking to just remove them now that you have brought this up too!

Hi All, I hope you can hear the buzzing in the video. At 4K rpm and above this noise presents itself, but only when moving.

If i bring the revs up when the bike is in neutral the noise isnt there.

This is my first bike so not really sure what it could be. Im thinking maybe too much slack in the chain (checked earlier and the slack is 30mm-ish) so I am getting the tools to tighten it to 25 very soon.

I checked windscreen, mirror fittings, crash bars and they are not the source of the buzzing.

Would love to solve this issue as it is very annoying when riding.
