Posted September 19, 201014 yr Moderator 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...

September 19, 201014 yr Author Moderator Will this mean the big end also ? I hope not, wont know till i take it down.
September 19, 201014 yr I hope not, wont know till i take it down. 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.

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.
September 19, 201014 yr I'm hoping its a compression difference between the barrels.

September 20, 201014 yr Author Moderator vibrations got worse today, the vibes were getting worse this morning and were bad enough on the way home to make my feet go numb. Hey ho, i was going to do the wheels over the winter, looks like its the motor instead.
September 20, 201014 yr down around 10mph, Me too like really deep rumble through the bike Hope you get it sorted cynic and its not to badly damaged
September 20, 201014 yr I see you didnt make it to the Triples rally in kent then Blackhat ? what happened Aye all" It was a brdige too far, having spent three weekends on the bounce in a tent [ Thundrer in Glen- Shehalion- Squires,] spoke with Tartan Triple,[ Edinburgh] we thot weather looked dodgy, and 510mls each way, Was just too much, But next year:rolleyes: will be prepared, gonna take week off ,- hit Squires ,- then ACE caffe, and on to Southern Triples rallyB) Roll on next summer,
September 21, 201014 yr Author Moderator Kev you've done it now, fate is going to bend you over and make whoopie with yo arse for that statement.
September 21, 201014 yr chin up lads,,,,,,,,mines running fine oh kev with jason on this,what a statement hope you dont learn the hard way tempting fate. last year i said i had never had a puncture. since then i have had five.
September 21, 201014 yr it's a good job i don't beleve in fate then.im going up to the lakes with rob, the lad who came to squires ,this saterday,and i know it will get me there and back,i dont even have breakdown cover,thats how confident i am......i bet you evil gets are all crossing your fingers now,,,ha ha .it will be back at squires next year ,mark my words.
September 21, 201014 yr Author Moderator 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 . 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
September 21, 201014 yr im going up to the lakes with rob, the lad who came to squires ,this saterday, Yeh i remember him [ bandit] he drank the last of the Glava" Where are you heading , in lake district,, ?

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 ??

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.

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