Title: high noise/rpms Post by danroot on 09/16/09 at 15:26:15 ok, so my bike is making some louder than usual noise and seems to be reaching higher rpms at lower speeds. what should i be looking out for? |
Title: Re: high noise/rpms Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/16/09 at 15:34:27 The only way RPM can increase at any given speed in any given gear is for either the rear tire to change diameter or the clutch start slipping. Have you changed oil type? Does the clutch lever have any slack in it? Is it possible you are hearing a higher frequency engine noise & interpreting that as Higher RPM? Maybe its clackety valves? |
Title: Re: high noise/rpms Post by danroot on 09/16/09 at 15:41:53 it just seems to be working harder at lower speed, like, the vibration and noise that i normally feel at 60mph is felt at 40mph. |

Title: Re: high noise/rpms Post by Midnightrider on 09/16/09 at 16:06:11 Check your header bolts. If you removed the header when you installed the supertrapp the bolts might have worked loose. |

Title: Re: high noise/rpms Post by Serowbot on 09/16/09 at 17:00:35 check that your wheels are turning free... not dragging brakes or bad wheel bearings. |
Title: Re: high noise/rpms Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/16/09 at 17:04:18 I think the most common probl;em that creates that situation is the cross bolts thru the engine( peg bolts) need torqued. You had to drop the peg to do the cam chain & the exhaust. |
