Oh well, got a high frequency vibe at around 7000rpm now and down around 10mph, definitely need more throttle for comparable amounts of go so looks like i'm rebuilding the TDR's top end over the winter... :(

Aye, probably not mate, with a bit of luck !

Is the noise like a high metalic rattle in the high revs and does it start to be herd when slowely giving it some throttle from idle.

No, not any noise i can here but there is a definite vibe in the bars and some of the horses have fled the stable. She felt slower when i was out this afternoon. I'm hoping its a compression difference between the barrels.

May have some good news, went all over the bike today running the motor listening for noises and such. Deffinite top end rattle, slap or little end not sure but the motor don't vibrate on the stand.

Looked a bit more started to piss the neighbours off a bit with revving and such :rolleyes: . Still no real vibes. I'm thinking it may be the chain, looks ok but there is a defo tight spot and the sprockets are worn. Could be the 400mile weekend killed it and i've got hung up on the oil thing.

Going to order a c/s set and some cush rubbers, no loss if it don't help. Maybe Kev distracted fate's attention :P

:lol: :lol: I think maby he did !!! eh Kev.

That is kinda good news Cynic,,,,,,, a top end rattle or slap- this can give bad vibrations in the bars when bike is on the move, espically at constant throttle (ie,not pulling or not engine braking) Top end that is going can be herd at its worst when the bike is started from cold and throttle is gently being applied.

Dont really know how a tight spot in the chain would effect things ??

As a chain wears it developes a tight spot, this gets tighter and tighter. The bikes only got 9000mile so it could be the original chain (23years young). I adjusted it before i left for the squires. If the chain has tightend up with the 300miles of motorway the tight spot will be felt every time it travels over the front sprocket.

Thats what i'm hoping for anyway. ;)

A yes,,,,, then thats maby/hopefully why you were getting vibes through the pegs when on the move and now there isnt any when on the stand.

Hopefully it wont all be as bad as first thaught ! good luck !
