Morning all.

Anyone free for a meetup?

I'd like an experienced AT-er here to have a listen on my bike / engine for a 2nd opinion.

Have not been on a V-twin for over 3 years so not used to the various sounds.

Unsure what is normal and what may not be.

 

Anyone?

 

What kind of engine sound do you hear? Rattling of the clutch when its in free gear and clutch fully released?

 

Where do you stay?

Erm not that.

Its like, when I accelerate up, there is a secondary metallic rattling sound similar to shaking a thin metallic sheet very quickly.

It occurs between 3.5-5K RPM.

Its quite loud, I'm dead sure its not from the engine.

Could be an external part or even the bash plate rattling.

But I could be wrong.

 

I've brought the bike to a mech and tried it at neutral gear but its hard to replicate it.

 

I doubt its an internal engine issue. Its barely got a 27K mileage. Yes, 27K mileage and not yet one cycle.

 

I got the bike only on Thursday.

Yet to fully explore the bike.

 

I'm staying in Jurong East, near Chinese Garden.

So, you are the guy who bought Chan's bike!! Lucky you!

 

Check you crashbar if you have one. There might be a crack at the joints which result in the rattling sound. Check that the rubbers between the frame and the bashplate are still there(At the 4 screws).

 

If you still can't find the source, PM me your number, i usually past by jurong to go CCK.

I'm not sure if it is his bike.

The 2 previous owners are all ang-mohs.

Teachers, both of them.

It only has a Givi siderack and crashbar as accessories.

 

I got your contact from @swat.

Maybe I'll call you later and we can meet up.

Heyos...

Thankies.

 

I guess its a bit of a slowdown for me.

From the fast days on a streetfighter to a more relaxing ride.

 

Would be glad to meet up one day.

Looks like lots of west-side AT ppl....

[WildCard]

BTW, the problem is gone.

Had to do some MAJOR servicing just now and the bash plate got taken off.

Now its back on and it seems the problem is gone or at least drastically reduced.

 

So I guess the rattling is a loose bash plate after all.

 

But I'd still love to meet up with the rest for a kopi session.

Had considered that trip.

But now I'm out.

Dun think my tyres will last that trip.

 

 

BTW, anyone knows if the spokes on the rim can be DIY replaced?

Mine looks a bit old and rusting (more like oxidizing) and I'm thinking of replacing them....

[three]

The spokes are VERY expensive. Oxdizing is normal, expecially the front ones. You want to try electroplating it? Go ahead and if it works out fine, i'll be next in line.

Jsut spoke with a shop.

$30 all in for one single spoke.

Considering need to take out the tyre and tube and possibly rim (dunno that one), it might be worth $30.

 

Each spoke is about 3 GBP each.

Apologies all (especially to @swat) for not being able to make it to the regular Thursday nite meetup last nite, despite my best intention to.

Was working on my DIY Rallye project and I think my back let go of something.

Ended up in bed rest of the night.

 

Maklumla, no longer like the Twilight Saga anymore...
