noise

I seem to have a very subtle noise coming from my clutch (or at least it sounds like it is coming from the casing). Never noticed it before so I don't know if it is normal or something is wrong. It sounds like a very faint rattle. It disappears when I pull the clutch lever and also seems to...

Was shifting from first two second sound like somthing came apart in tranny then I noticed gear noise 4th-5th real bad noise leaks oil out drive shaft where it connect nice drip any idea.

good evening folks. here's what i have going on. on my recently purchased 89 vmax i have a roughness in what seems to be clutch/tranny or driveline? tranny shifts fine, all gears work as they should. if i spin wheel i can hear and feel it. spinning on center stand in neutral. when running...

I have a 1992 max with almost 23,000 miles on it, it has had a tap at idle coming from the back rear bank from the time i got it at 20,000 miles. It dosent get louder when i rev it, and it hasent got worse after 3000 miles. I have read so many threads on engine noise, and everyone agrees its...

SOOOOOOOO..... i just did the DD clutch maybe a week ago, everything has been great. ive been tough on the bike since. im really enjoying the hard 1-2 shift. this noise just started yesterday. so heres the questions.... Its NOT popping out of gear, its just making a hell of a grinding...

Howdy guys. I'm new to the form, but I've been browsing over it for the past few days. I just got my first Vmax ('92 - 16,500 miles) about two weeks ago. Already put 500 miles on it and I've only found one minor issue with it. It seems like there is a whining noise coming from the clutch when it...

Hello everyone, I just started to notice that when hot and at idle (about 900rpm) I have a slight noise, kinda sounds like a knock :-( as soon as you feed it any throttle it clears up but once it's back to idle you can hear it. It's not obnoxiously loud or anything and I don't know enough about...

So i just got my bike running again and after coming home from just getting gas, i was pushing my bike into my shop when i heard a noise in my differential.... sounds basically like a ball bearing is riding around in there!! as i push it every now and then i heard the distinct noise of a small...

I have a 98 v-max with one Sean Morley's o.d. undercut gearbox's in it, nice gearbox, also has a pcw h.d. clutch spring kit in clutch, no more slip, all has been good for well over a year (15000+km.) today after giving it a bit of squirt from 1st to 2nd I noticed a loud metallic clunking noise...

Before I go too far, this is my first post here so.....Hello to everyone. Hopefully I am posting this in the correct thread, if not, just let me know. I picked up a 93 Vmax with 15k miles on it about a month ago. I have noticed that there is a bit of valve noise. It's not very loud but...

I just finished reading an interesting article in Motorcycle Mojo: the municipality of Caledon, Ontario has adopted a noise by-law aimed specifically at motorcycles. Another municipality in Alberta, Canada has done the same. Police will have dB detectors and will conduct road-side...

Hi Guys, I start a new thread regarding my Engine ticking noise. This time I'm adding a video so you can easily tell what is the problem with the engine. Your opinion is very important for me. Here is the video posted on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZepNM9qcRA Few facts: 1. I...

Hi Guys, I have a 1999 vmax and recently I started to hear strange noises (ticks) especially on low speed second gear. I think it's from the right side and I want to ask if someone can guess what it can be? can it be from the clutch? or maybe the valves chain tensor? I don't know if its related...

last weekend some dumb ass pinned my throttle and locked my throttle lock while it was sitting ( im pretty sure i know who did it but he wont admit it) :bang head: anyway when i started it it immediately reved way high ( probably passed redline) before i hit the kill switch ( he it was delayed...

when i start my bike and i don't want to use the choke, i give the throttle a little twist and i hear a clicking noise as the idle seeks.... wtf is that noise? is that the vboost or something? This only happens when the bike is cold and i'm starting it with no choke and it is almost like idle...

Engine ticking on cold startup Hello Vmaxers. First I must express how useful this site is. Second, I apologize for not introducing myself in the proper place, but I shall do it with some photos. I recently purchased a 2004 Vmax with about 6k miles on the clock. The bike starts normally, 10-15...

I just bought an 86, 18k miles. The thing has a ticking from the top end on the right hand side. Sound like 1 valve is WAY out of adjustment. No noise from the rest of the heads. I just had the cam tensioners replaced due the rear chain slapping around in the case(decided to have both done at...

My 02 developed a creaking/clicking noise while at Thunder this year. I only noticed it while pushing the bike around the lot. More pronounced while backing it up. It was definitely coming from the pumpkin area. There were no performance issues, the bike ran fine and coasted fine. I had many...

Hello Sorry for the newb question. I have an 85' max. When I turn it on (before starting), I hear a clicking noise which I assume is the fuel pump. Should I also hear the Vboost system doing something? I watched some videos in which the noise before starting was very different. I'm...
