[Ah Chi]

Bring to a bike shop and let the professional have a listen. Go to a few to get a fair opinion. For the cheapest option, go change engine oil now!

"Sand" sound from your engine??

Whatever happens at the heart of your engine should sound like metallic noises, not "sand" sounds...

 

I thint the sound you've described is either your chain not being oiled properly or it being loose,

or that your brakepads are old and are rubbing the brake disks.

 

I see that you're a confused lad. So before you decide to change this/that, seek professional mechanic advice first.

No meant to high jack or anything....

My Wave just change engine oil then start to have a sharp metal rattling sound if i travel above 70km/h...

when placed on main stand, i turn my rear tire, it produce a weird sound... b4 servicing nv have all this... Serviced at boon siew. my first servicing btw.

 

and after riding i check my engine oil, it was smoking.... is this normal?

my bike too giving me this sandy sound . but mine is when idling being most obvious, brake pad and chain don come into e picture, is e piston itself i suppose. heard frm a mech that sometimes i due to e chippings from e piston:giddy:

[newcomer]

mine also has the same sound. only come when i at 1st or 2nd gear coming almost to a quick halt, or engine braking at 1st/2nd gear at very low speed.

 

i think it's the clutch sound...

[haowei]

maybe is come form dry clute sound??

got it fixed its the piston rings.

[NL27]

got it fixed its the piston rings.

 

i think is the piston ring lose that why will produce that saddy saddy sound, will it make the piston condition worst?

even if class 2 bikes have that sanddy sound, its so nice. compared to 2b bikes like going to break down anytime like that
