Hello Everyone,
So I'm having a bit of a scare right now. My bike has 920 miles on it, and I just noticed a "clack" noise while riding today. I'm sure part of all this should be expected, but it seems so...loud? or distinct? it's worrying me.
So what happened was, I was sitting at a stop light, engine at operating temp, light turns green, and I "dumped" about 1/4 throttle on it instantaneously. I would imagine that to a degree, some sort of different sound is
normal but still, the first time I heard it, (I know it probably wasn't), but it
sounded like a piston was tapping the valve, or hitting against it. I'm sure I'm being dramatic, but this is like an infant to me, a little cut would seem like a lost limb. When I got home, I made a video with my phone, I'm gonna put a link in this post. Listen for it right when I give it throttle, there are one or 2 distinct moments, 0:03 and 0:42 seemed to be them. Now, I think youtube's encryption, lowers the volume for the moments where the clack was, or maybe it was my phone, so it was actually a lot louder in person. I hope y'all are able to tell by the video what the noise is.
If this is something of concern, the bike is still under warranty and I would probably take it in to have it checked out.
Does anyone know if drilling out the little brass plug on the carb fuel/air screw "voids" warranty? I wouldn't want them to say "Oh you tampered with this plug, we can't help you."
If ANYONE, has any input on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
