So, I dropped my bike at the dealer ship after the following happened.
I was riding in second gear when there was a low grinding sound which came from directly beneath me. The engine sound of the bike dropped in pitch to a very low tone and my RPMs began to fall off even though I maintained the same speed. Visually, I could see nothing wrong with the bike, though there was a metallic burning smell (the kind you would get from metal on metal friction) coming from the exhaust.
When I started the bike back up, the RPMs climbed sluggishly and the bike transferred power to the back wheel very slowly, almost unwillingly: I had to hold the throttle open when at rest to make sure I had enough time to get going.
I'm honestly not sure what happened to the bike: it shifts perfectly fine, all the way up and all the way down, yet there seems to be a problem with the transferring of power to the back wheel. If it helps, it's been three weeks since my 12000 mile maintenence.
So, what do you guys think? Transmission? Engine? Something else?
