Post by zims123 »

So folks....new to this here v2 thing and loving it......

But tell me how much rattle and noise should i expect from a cold vtr engine.....i know that changing the cct's is wise and i will, but in the meen time how much funny noise is acceptable...??? I'm used to a GSXR which sounded the same all the way through..

Best find someone in your area to have a listen

I never really notice the noise

Just when I hear a 4 cylinder there usually isn't any!!

The V2 is a totally different sound from the IL4, if you listen carefully you can even heart the giant pistons popping away. Is there a certain noise that is causing you some concern. Does the noise go away once the engine is warmed up? or can you pin down where the noise is coming from.

The best advice I can give you is to listen to some other VTR's to compare too or as was mention best find someone in your area to have a listen who know the engines. :thumbup:

So whereabouts are you based?
If you put your location in your profile it shows it beside your avatar, whenever you post, and it saves people suggesting a workshop in the wrong county or country.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
