High Miler
So what are the signs of an engine that is not breathing well enough.
Reason I ask, sometimes when I give the bike throttle, I get some slight knocking sounds, sounds like marbles in a can, very slight sound and not very pronounced, and then it goes away as the rpm's come up. Is this low octane, clutch noise, transmission noise. WTF is causing this, or maybe bad breathing? I'm using high octane top grade fuels so I know this is not pinging. It almost sounds like it's coming from the clutch maybe. So are these clutches known to rattle like this a little bit when you start off or give it some juice. It sort of comes and goes. It's mostly at the lower rpm's like below 3,000 rpm's. It sounds like the clutch to me, just want to find out if this is a characteristic of this motor or not.
