erbrod Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 hi everyone I just recently purchased a 1982 sr 250 and have been riding without any problems. A couple of nights ago another rider asked me why it sounded the way it does. Hes never owned a yammy so he wasn't sure if the sound was right for this bike. I , too am unfamiliar with yammy sound this being my first. It does sound louder by the motor sort of like an automatic weapon the sound not coming from the exhaust but around the motor. I did have it inspected a couple of weeks ago and the inspector didnt mention anything about it, odd. Maybe hes unfamiliar with the sound this yammy should make. I looked at the oil level and it is at max, no leaks. Ive thought it could be the piston??? I dont know much about this since ive only done minor maintenance on bikes. I dont want to worry too much since ive been riding it without issues but i also dont want to worsen and in the end lose her. Thanks for your input on this.
