[QUOTE="Mark16q, post: 77147, member: 22829"] I know this has been covered here in the past, but am looking for some comfort with the noise my motor is making. Only have about an hour on the engine, but it clacks at low rpm really badly. Once it is revving, seems fine, but when accelerating from a turn, or just putting around, the thing sounds like someone is throwing rocks at it. There is plenty of usable power when it is making the noise, and it doesn't sound like pinging. Just a nasty metal on metal clacking. The shop swore to me that the noise level is normal, but I feel like I'm breaking the motor at lower rev's. btw, the bike is a Ca spec, with the new needle and pilot adjustments done by the shop (no butt plug). It pulls very strong and clean throughout. Still air cleaner cover in place, as they (the shop) said to leave it alone. It may go faster without it, but plenty fast for now. Do I just need a louder exhaust or ear plugs too enjoy the torque this motor has. can't help but feel like damage is going on when riding at lower rev's. Not lugging it, but not pushing it too hard either. Thanks, Mark [/QUOTE]
