SuzukiSavage.com - I'm afraid to ask...what's this noise?

Greg Serious Thumper Offline Molon Labe Posts: 1251 Southeast PA, uSA Gender:	I'm afraid to ask...what's this noise? 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?

Reply #3 - 07/01/12 at 16:26:27 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'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

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.
