trialsurfer Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The easiest fix is usually increase the pilot to a 36 and higher octane fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07betarev3 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 is it anything to be worried about tho the engine knock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Be very hard too tell without hearing the engine itself but can you tell wereabouts the "knock" is coming from specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montman Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 If it is the 'knock' I had on my 98 Mont it was cured by using Shell Optimax fuel but my 01 Mont ran fine on standard unleaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) I've Heard this knock, Its almost like a chattering (but def a knock rather than a rattle) coming from the clutch side. Edited October 25, 2006 by Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 only really when the bike is on tick over, not all the way up the rev range, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just listened to the knock and it is there when reving it but only quietly, my mate rang sandifords and they said that they thought it was a bearing in or around the clutch does this sound likely? i dont know anything about engines myself so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
