Title: I'm afraid to ask...what's this noise?
Post by Greg on 07/01/12 at 16:15:22

I have an engine noise that seems to have gotten louder. I don't hear it on the right side but that just may be because of the exhaust. My bike has 52xx miles on it. It is a 2002. Any thing to be concerned about?

So the rattle is normal? Maybe I just never noticed before.

And I absolutely LOVED Hogan's Heroes!

The video sounds more like a rock tumbler than a Savage engine...

No idea... Don't know if that accurately represents the noise in person,.. but I'd cr@p my pants if my bike sounded like that video...

Have you checked the cam-chain?... :-?...

No, I haven't checked anything. I didn't think that should be an issue at 5000 miles. I am sure the video is not a true representation. They never were for my exhaust sounds either. I guess I am gonna drive to the bike shop and ask them to give it a listen.

I just get a big black square, I cant get anything to play.,.

I shook Bob Cranes hand at the Front Page in New Orleans in 77 or 78.
I saw him coming down the aisl & turned my back, waiting till he got close & turned & said
Booob! Like I knew him, he turned & stuck his hand out & I shook it, Then, he saw he'd been had & pulled away,, I Laffed..

I'd have the covers off before I drove it anywhere.

clutch cover 1st of course.

I had to double click a couple of times to get it to work.

Neither one of the "links" for the "noise" works.. I'm dieing to hear it though... maybe it's the some "noise" I have and it's just "normal"? Who knows, I've done so much tinkering mine is probably worse off :D

It's a 3.7MB .wmv file so it may take time to buffer or download depending on your connection speed.

if you are using FireFox browser you will need the Windows Media Player plugin to get it to play in the browser.

Here is a link to help ya out for those that don't have it.

I stopped to see my scooter tech. He says it is the valves and it is not abnormal. When I get my bike inspected in September, they will be adjusted at that time.
