Jingle Jangle...
08/12/09 at 16:08:53
 
I've recently been hearing a light jingle jangle sound from down below, and was beginning to suspect the cam chain... a tinklely sound like gently shaking a set of keys...
First suspect,... the keys!.... nope, not the keys...
Second,... maybe I'm too lean and it's valve rattle... nope... I stepped up one on the pilot jet..
So I notice, it only comes at that float position,  not accelerating or decelerating,... right in that middle float area...
Must be the cam chain....
Then, I notice that if I get up to speed and pull in the clutch,... I can vary the throttle and the noise stays the same...
Not related to engine rpm....
Hmmm,.... Drivetrain?....

So I pulled the drive pulley cover and saw that the big pulley nut was no longer flat edge to the washer crimp.
Crank on the nut and it started to move before 25 ft pounds.  
I had to have a buddy come sit on the bike and hold the rear brake while I cranked her down.   I think I remember that it should be 85ft lbs.,... I cranked it to 95 or a 100ft lbs with a new dab of loc-tite just to be sure.

Test ride says,.. no noise,...Bingo!... pulley nut was making the noise...

So if your spurs are going jingle jangle,.. check that big ol' nut...

Thanks, I will, been hearing a tinka tinka tink when ever I pass something that will reflect the noise back to me.  Was worth about 2 weeks of head light fixin' with no joy.  Undecided  But the headlight aint rattlin' no mo.   Grin  Now I hear the mirror rattlin' at start up   :'(
But still a tinka tink so I'll try the nut.  Looked tight when I looked at it.  But I'll put a wrench on it.

What do you guys use to straighten out the fold in the lock washer?

I used a wood chisel.  It worked, but it put some gouges in the washer.

What do you use to re-bend the lock washer?  I used the same wood chisel and left a few small gouges in the pulley.   Embarrassed

My pulley was not loose, BTW.  I was just checking the torque since I had the bike torn down for some other maintenance.

bend it up with a pair of needle nose vice grips and a lot of swearing. Bend it down with a rubber mallet and carefully placed flathead screwdriver.

I could get neither a screwdriver nor a regular chisel into the tiny gap between the nut and the factory-folded washer.

However, the needle-nosed vice-grips sounds like a good idea.

Could you possibly post a pic?  I've been hearing a little tinklely noise too.  I'm going to try the things you mentioned that narrowed it down for you and see if mine reacts the same, but wouldn't know what to look for if that turns out to be the case for me.

Thanks!  You guys are the best!

Not to hijack the thread, but Justin, years ago when I rode dual purpose bikes, we were on the trails. A friend's bike had the switch close to where our"s is. A branch or something grabbed his keychain and keys went everywhere Shocked  I have one key in the switch and one on the key ring in my pocket. Truth is much stranger, and more entertaining, than fiction Roll Eyes

Just wanted to bump this post up again,... rather than post a separate update ...

Had the same sound come up again,... and... sure enough, the pulley was about a 1/4 turn backed off again...
Cranked it tight with everything I got this time... and "jingle jangle" went away...
