    LOUD whirring noise

    Had the bike out for a little ride just now, nothing over 6000 rpm, and pull up to a stop sign and hear a loud whirring noise with a hint of a rattle over the idle, bike is still running. Ease her back to the house and standing there listening around for a half minute and she cuts off...

    Ok these were brand new BP7ES NGK's that I have put 126 miles on since getting my '79 back on the road. The bike had set up unridden the better part of 2 years prior. This is not a plug chop per se but I did chop the plugs twice in high gear at about 50mph and they looked the same as far as...
