g,day all , so since having the new limited a short while now and getting through the run in period .. things seemed fine but as i didnt take it above 3000 rpm to muchi can say i really noticed anything noise wise .. just on the odd occasion a give it a bit of a squirt , bike had the stage 1 upgrade and during its first 1600 service i told them it had a bit of a flat spot from decel to getting back onto it again , so they flashed it through a tune again and it did the job .. however i have noticed that on acceleration now it seen to make what i can only kind of describe as like a clatter noise.... seems fine at idle or low revs , cant say i hear the same from my 107 m8 .
My 107 seems to have a lot of tappet noise. I mentioned it at 1000k service but nothing changed. Hoping its normal.
That changing down one gear & having to release then reclutch to go down further gear is common on many bikes when trying to go down a few cogs at once. Can't always snick down more than one gear by holding clutch in.
HOW MANY K,S U HAVE NOW ?
4500
Ross have you seen what your rockers look like? I don't mean yours specifically but rather the M8 rockers in general, the SE catalogue has the remedy to the tick, should be standard but you know how they roll.
My 107 has always been noisy, mentioned it at the dealer at the 1600km and the 8000k service, they just said it's normal. Even if it is normal and not doing any damage I would love to get rid of the noise!
depends what noisey is really .. my 107 sportglide only gets a bit tappy when im actually riding at pace .. at idle it seems fine , sits around 800 rpm and nice and lumpy : )
Hey Wello,
You reckon it could be pinging Uncle Chougs? I suppose it could be if Wello is unfamiliar with that noise, didn't think of that, went straight mechanical, faulty knock sensors can knock the timing around by 5 degree's, would of though the ECM would pull it but perhaps not.
