HI,

I have just picked up a new FG early Dec and has ~1000klm on the clock. I have noticed that when changing gears at around 2,500 rpm I get a slight noise which is not the same as when I change at >3,000 rpm. The noise could be engine, exhaust or clutch it kinda sounds like its an imbalance in something although nothing actually vibrates and its not that loud its just "different" to the normal sound of the engine when the clutch is in and the engine decelerates under no load.

Nice Worm.

Is it a clunk or what and when exactly does it happen. Is it as the gear engages while releasing clutch?

Its when you push the clutch in and the engine is under no load whilst changing gear. The engine is coming down from ~2500 _ 2000 rpm prior to letting the clutch out and the engine does not sound "smooth". It's not a mechanical noise, clunk or BOV. When you change or push it a little more and change >3500 rpm the engine sound when the clutch is in and its loosing rpm's just sounds a lot better. The sound could be an exhaust harmonic, that's the best way I can explain it.

yer maybe the exhaust, from memory the XR50's have a different cat to mine (09 manual), its supposed to be a more restricting cat to comply with euro 4... I wouldnt quote me on that though

Rusty said yours has a more restrictive cat due to Euro 4 emission standards... (see quote above)
