rattity tapity

Post by Deviant400 »

is it me or do all nc 30's rattle a bit , im not loosing power ,, fuel consumption is good , no weird coloured smoke from the exhaust , not really any flat spots to gripe about , but my bike does tend to tick or tap a bit , are these the signs of somthing major on the cards , rings maybe or shims , or am i just a paranoid android :shock:

A bit of ticking can be the exhaust - check the tightness and make sure there are no leaks. The rear manifold ticks if loose.. ;)
