Sounds like its coming straight from the front sprocket. Gets noticeably worse as it is ridden. Chain is at the correct tension, i have even loosened and tightened to see if it makes a difference. No change. Its just a constant popping as the sprocket turns. Any ideas?

 

Is it a popping or is it a creaking noise. I had this hard creaking noise for a while, almost a pop like you said, but it only did it when I shifted weight around on the bike. Come to find out it was the swingarm bolt from the underside needed a few squirts of luv.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Its either your chain roller or a bent or broken tooth on the front sprocket making the chain bind and "pop"

 

thanks for the info, Iwill look at my sprocket. Its definitely a popping noise.
