Tick Tock

Post by Chrisd »

Hi All, Question time!!! Have anyone had any issues with a tinny tapping sound at low revs and slight throttle. I does reduce when you pull the clutch in but is still there. At higher revs it seems to decrease or I just I can't hear it. It is not the MCCT's. Could it be something in the carb rattling on lower revs seems to go about 3500? Thanks

Airleak from exhaust manifold or link pipes ? Something loose on the bike and resonating? Cup the exhausts and have a listen around.

Going to try the easy bits before entering the clutch. Air leaks and Balancing the carbs.
