still have noise? (Read 245 times)

shakenbake94 YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 33	still have noise? 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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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...

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
