Hi All,
I have an 06' 1300 and I just started to hear a noise seemingly coming from the left side of the engine. It is a ticking / knocking sound. I have started and ran the bike over the long cold winter at least once a month and just heard the noise in the last week. It starts right when I fire it up and continues until the bike is hot. Now for the interesting part. . . The noise is steady at idle and goes away as the rpm's rise above 2k. The noise comes back as the rpm's drop back down to 2k and below. On deceleration, it seems to knock a little more than tick, but that could be my imagination.
Any ideas?
06' 1300 with 68,000mi
I have owned the bike for 4 years and have not heard this noise before. I have read a bunch of postings and the usual ticking noise from the ST is not what I am talking about. I ahve not checked valves or cam adjuster tensioner or anything. I just took the plastics off and looking for some help.
Thanks in advance. Much appreciated!!!
