Engine sounds sweet but not a clue what is causing that noise. Seems worse going from 3rd to second. Never had that on my 750 when i had long hair or on my present 850. Will ring a friend who used to service my 750 and get back to you
Thanks but on a old bike with brakes that aren't up to much " and they've all been replaced skimmed and setup" the engine braking is something you learn to relly on, at nearly seventy I've not had a accident yet " touch wood" and I was riding at 12, bsa's Norton's Triumph's etc through 1970s it doesn't ride like my R1 but great fun, we all ride different and this works for me although I will give it a go thanks ride safe 👍
Do a little rev matching when you down shift and it'll be fine.
..something I learned to do early in my motorcycling life and continue to do.
Bit of back lash in the box or primary chain being used to help braking
Yep sorted now thanks, you are right the primary chain was loose due to the clutch basket bearing being worn and noisy. Cheers 👍
I would check the primary tension, you may need to move the gearbox forwards, and relieve the clutch & LHS main bearing. Best wishes
👍
Possibly clutch not releasing properly or needs adjusting bit tighter on clutch lever. I use castrolite fork oil in clutch case
Thanks turned out to be the clutch bearing 👍

Thanks found a worn clutch bearing all good now 👍
It is a nice sound off the engine, never ridden a British bike.
I can honestly say you should try great fun but very different from riding my R1 or you Z cheers 👍
Who hasn’t missed a gear before!!
🦶😂
Just listen to that sweet exhaust note, the only thing that sounds better is an old orange 750 Sport Ducati with Conti's on it.
🙉😂👍
If I can give a bit of advice back off on the engine braking and adopt a smoother gear change
