newtrialer Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, ive recently purchased this bike, anyway it has a engine rattle that is constant and rpm dependant but oddly and confusingly it entirely goes away when the bike is leant over a little bit to the left. If you stand it upright or lean it to the right it just remains the same..?? The bike runs like it should apart from the noise (which sounds like a bad top end rattle). Please can anyone shed any light on this?? Edited August 21, 2014 by newtrialer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Does the noise go quieter or stop when you pull the clutch lever, if so its the usual Gag Gas 'character' that goes hand in hand with the sensation of the engime falling out when changing gear from 4th to 5th.

power175 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Is it the bearing or something loose catching inside the engine. -power175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
