engine tapping
hi, unfortunaitly, i have purchased a kwak. ive just run it home (helston, cornwall) from Llandrindod wells in wales (300 miles) on the run, i heard no abnormal noises. when i got home, it was run arround (priety aggressivly i might say ) and once again i heard no problems. when i got home, no abnormal noises. ive left it to cool down for 1 hour, and ive just started it up (because i love the fact that ive now got a 500, instead of 125, and i love the noise) and to my horror, i hear a mild to loud tapping noise from the cylender head at arround 1500 rpm above and below that rpm, the noise goes, but im very tentative to take her out again, seen as my SR's first engine died due to a incorrectly seated valve that was worn and droped in to the cylender. that made a similar sound, and im hoping that its not that again, as it is not only terminal on my new bike (got today, 25th nov) but costs alot to fix too can anybode please tell me that i shouldnt bee afraid and that it will all be better tomorow? or atleast let me know what it could be. many thanks.

Who Needs a Truck?
I swear the laws of gravity there are different to europes... if i tryed that, either the bike would fall over backwards, or they would all come off.

Does the engine turn over? because it looks like its within my price-range. bit of oil and WD40, no problem

Hello!
a 125 is ideal for a new rider, the XT is a good bike for what it is, and they can shift in circumstances. enjoy riding, and welcome
i like my SR
