UPDATE. It appears to be the speedo head itself as suggested by others....thank you. I'll strip it. clean and lightly lubricate it and see how it goes from there. Thanks to everyone that suggested this...much appreciated.
Yep, the speedo was the culprit. The only difficult bit of stripping it was removing the Bezel.....very careful not to break the glass. All nice and quiet again now. Thank you for your help.
Hey guys what's the exact fix? Do I take the clutch cover off and do something with the speedo head? I have this exact noise and problem and want to know exactly what needs to be done to prevent it doing it again
I took the speedo head off and carefully dismantled it. Very lightly lubricated the centre bush, and it was fine after that. I didn't need to do anything with the clutch cover. Go for a ride with the speedo cable disconnected, you'll know if it's the head then!
If I get chance later I'll check for you, but I remember checking when I got it that it was standard, so that could be right as I've not changed them. I might be selling the bike soon as I want an Enfield, although I might just keep it wrapped up in the back of my garage. 😊
Good question, because I had originally 41/15 and I can't ride - because bike was too strong, to high RPM and so slow. Now I have 36/16 and is much more better - but I'm only solo driver...Cheers!

I don't think that noise is from the engine. Something from final drive maybe. Something rubbing off the chain ?
Sorry didn't see your post
@@craig6119 . It was the speedo head! Thank you.
Someone has suggested it might be the Speedo, so I'll disconnect the cable and try it again.
Disconnect rev counter then lubricate leave and re connect geoff
It was the speedo internal bearings dry.....stripped, lubricated and put back together, all good then! 😊
i had the same noise on my old superdream . it was the speedo
Thank you....
had same noise on my recently bought CB250N, so relived if it's the speedo cable, thanks for your comment, was a bit worried
Mine was the actual Speedo head.... Disconnect the cable and see if it prevents it happening again. Good luck. 🤞🤞

Yes, 15/41. Had to check the front a few times as it's a bit awkward to see, thought I had 16 at first....
