I have had a cracking noise coming from my driveline. LBS said it was dry motor mount bolts, I thought thats strange but agreed to drop it in so they could rip out the motor and fix it.
You guessed it....that didn't work. Another guy I was riding with said its the freehub and then continued that it sounds loud as well.

Have attached a vid link of rolling down a hill and it does sound like it petrol powered! Sound normal or a problem to you guys?
Forks also sound weird to me.

It sounds a lot like adding some grease to the freehub will dampen the sound.

Is the noise from the fork reduced if you reduce the rebound damping?

Sounds about as loud as mine did before I returned it. I noticed it was a very very loud bike when just free wheeling, louder than anything I had previously ever ridden. But I got used to it and I don't think it was faulty, it was actually one thing I was willing to compromise with.

It's loud but I think it's normal.

When I took mine in for 1st service and mentioned it was very loud, they put in s new motor! Didn’t expect that, still not got it back yet as waiting on decision from Rockshox on my knackered forks.
