the bike was mint and i mean mint when i got it still on original dunlop tyres not a scratch on it frame or anywhere ive had a few bikes and i know one run on a trail and you know a bikes been off road/used. so im pretty sure the milage is genuine
I got the valves checked at 1000 miles weather the garage actually checked them remains to be seen but the garage that is looking at it now is going to check them again after replacing the bearings. would the valves cause the clattering noise??
The noise is pretty much a noise that seems to match the piston revs if ya get me and it speeds up/down with revs it is more evedent under full load you can hear it 4th/5th from roughly 40+ starts of like a scratchy/rattly noise i'd say a rattle for every piston stroke it seems to be consistent with the piston reveloutions but if i give the bike full throttle in 4th/5th it turns into a fairly loud clattering noise knock knock knock knock etc... the bike could well have drawn water in through it's outtings with me to scarhouse resevoir as everytime the bike goes through a river or big puddle when i check the clear hose on the airbox drain it has water in everytime which i'm quite surprised at.
Unfortunately i cannot supply a recording as the motors currently on the bech at my garage awaiting new main bearings i just hope this cures it.
