Hey everyone!
I have a 96' WR250 and I'm trying to diagnose a rattling sound that I'm hearing. It sounds like a can of marbles being shaken around.
It happens when opening the thottle fully when in 5th and sometimes 4th with the engine rpm's really low. I know it's not exactly useful to ride the bike in too high of a gear at slow speeds and open it up, but it doesn't sound normal. The rattling sound lasts only two seconds at most, and is long gone before the bike's making any usable power.
Bike is at good compression, power is strong, and jetting is a tad rich. Transmission works perfectly fine and shifts cleanly.
It sounds like it could be comming from the exhaust system rattling at a certain frequency. Perhaps the hose clamps on the guard I have are vibrating at those speeds? I'm just worried that something is wearing in my transmission or the piston is slapping around.
Please tell me my baby is fine and that this is normal and I don't need to have something costly replaced! :scream:
Thanks in advance!
