Member Contributer RC1237V Posted May 23, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted May 23, 2021 Both my '90 and '93 have that knocking sound, I'm assuming (hoping) it's normal. They do it at idle when warm, but if I set the idle high, they don't do it. Might just be the engine clunking at such low revs... anyone else?

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted May 23, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted May 23, 2021 I wonder if rising rpm brings more oil flow / pressure helping to compensate for various internal clearances. The rad only has a switch for the fan - the gauge sensor is in the V - it will be more difficult to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 yes starts on the button idles lovely does,nt seem to want much if any choke? knocking i seen is something to do with cam tolerances or clutch basket that,s what i saw online about oil ways in cam jurnals..im not to bothered about engine as the way it starts and runs and sounds right.Also for an engine that has been well engineered im happy with the bike hope to put it on the road in a few weeks time just cleaning, changing all fluids at the moment watch this space....

coupedupsubie Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 If you haven't already done it then I would recommend changing the coolant. The thermostat and temp sensor are on the right side and not horrible to access on the 94-97 models. When I got my 94 I changed the coolant, the thermostat and pulled and cleaned the temp sensor and switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelman Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 did anyone suggest to synch the carbs ?? poor synch will have the engine idling unevenly, which causes clutch noise as plates bounce fore and aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
