Strange noise when engine is shutdown
05/30/16 at 19:19:08

Finally fired up my RYCA street tracker. It fired up so fast it scared me for a second. Runs well, still needs alittle jet work. But when I shut it down I hear a click and a winding sound for maybe 1 second,I know it's something to do with the starter drive. Just don't know if it's normal, it been 2 1/2 years since it ran last,don't recall if it made the sound before. So does your savage make this noise ? Or do I have an issue ?

I asked about it once on this forum and it's apparently a non-issue. I don't worry about it. However, smarter people here will perhaps reply differently. David

I'll ignore it for the time being then unless it's decided it's serious. Also I get that POP at shutdown which I think is hysterical.

Re: Strange noise when engine is shutdown Reply #6 - 05/31/16 at 11:56:40 I truly enjoyed hearing mine growl spit and snarl as I went down through the gears. That last Hurrah when I shut down always made me smile.

So light & nimble, but it has more motor than brakes going to have to work on that !

Guess the engine mods are overriding the brake mods. Good thing it steers really good. Just about burned my fingerprints off checking the rotor for oil or grease , Ouch !

Yes it does help. I think my pads need to wear in a bit !

On some bikes the fork legs will spread open, front to back, when using the steel braided line. A lot of the guys that install the braided line will tell you that you should think about installing a fork brace at the same time. Just saying. Kenny G

I put one on my RYCA ! Bike steers very nice, feels very solid even under hard braking , no wiggles no wobbles . With the shortened forks & Progressive springs it steers much quicker than a stock savage.
