Title: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/07/14 at 15:42:53 I just received my versy tensioner today I put it in and put oil in it. When I started it it still had some noise. Not as much as I had before but there's still some noise. Is this normal? Does anybody have advice or ideas? Maybe its supposed to sound like that I haven't heard a savage run other than mine so maybe its supposed to sound like that? |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by oldNslow on 07/07/14 at 16:42:12 How many miles on your bike? Might be time to check the valve adjustment. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1325991352 |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/07/14 at 17:14:25 I checked em about a month ago and they were within spec |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/07/14 at 19:11:26 And I have 15000 on my bike |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by Dave on 07/08/14 at 09:46:56 Has your bike always been yours....and always had good oil in it? If the bike had oil without adequate ZDDP....the cam and rockers can get worn and will get noisy. This is the beginning of the damage to the cam from a bike run with a marginal oil. This bike had 17,000 miles on it when it was taken apart after a broken starter gear took out the cases. Dave |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/08/14 at 17:21:52 No I picked it up cheap about 2 months ago. Was told it was blown up and it didn't run. Put a raptor petcock in it and starts right up. Just put a versy tensioner in it and changed the oil. Runs like a CHAMP other than the noise. Was told the guy who owned it rode very easy and never beat on it or anything. |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/16/14 at 17:50:21 Not sure about oil quality. When I put it back together a week ago I used castrol gtx 10-40. Noise is at the top of the engine. When I checked the valve clearance they were at the high end of spec. Will that make it noisey? |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by S-P on 07/16/14 at 17:59:00 Better a bit too loose than too tight, even with a little noise. Add some Redline ZDDP to that Castrol. The bike needs zinc for the long haul. |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by Seaweednh on 07/17/14 at 01:27:54 Check to see if the speedo is making the noise. The first time I heard mine I thought I broke something in the engine and was ready to tear it down. Press down firmly on the speedo and see if it goes away. I believe I also read here that if the engine mount bolts are loose, you will also have noise. |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/17/14 at 18:42:08 I'll try that thanks. But the sound gets faster when I accelerate. Im not sure its the speedo but definitely worth a shot |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/17/14 at 19:18:17 Man,dump the fancy oil. Toss Rotella T15/40 in.Keep the filter.See if it doesn't sound better. You'll save money with Rotella,$13.00 a gallon..it's good enough to keep big diesel engines alive forever... |
|
Title: Re: still have noise? Post by Kris01 on 07/18/14 at 18:34:36 $13.00/gallon!!!! :o Where are you buying oil? I checked yesterday and it twice that. :) |
|
Title: Re: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/18/14 at 18:39:00 Got home and decided to check my valves again. They were way too tight. Couldn't even get a .003 feeler in at all. So I guess it is my valves got dark on me so I'll be adjusting them tomorrow |
|
Title: Re: still have noise? Post by verslagen1 on 07/18/14 at 18:45:56 You can't check them hot, the clearances will be different. check cold, 1st thing in the morning. |

Title: Re: still have noise? Post by sesamestreet on 07/19/14 at 12:17:28 Mine sounds a tiny bit quieter than the bike in the video and i was starting to worry about noise issue! pheww. I did just get the valves adjusted professionally by a good and trusty custom builder I know. Don't think I could've undertaken that. |
|
Title: Re: still have noise? Post by shakenbake94 on 07/19/14 at 16:12:31 I did what you suggested I put rotella 15-40 in and it did get a little quieter but I did adjust my valves and it sounds a whole lot better than before. You can still hear the valves chattering but I've come to realize that this motor is a noisy motor |
