XS650 Junkie
I have my valves adjusted correctly but when I start the bike cold they will rattle for a minute then
go totally quiet, normal rite. But when the motor gets real hot after running it hard or on a hot day
after say 1/2 hr ride the valves (at least thats the noise I think) will rattle very loud, sounds terrible.
Let the bike cool down and back to normal.Is this normal or could I possibly need new valve adjuster screws.
My oil is full 20/50 Dino. It seems to be much louder on the clutch side.I have pulled the clutch cover
and looked but everything appears tight ect.Any ideas. I saw a tube video of a xs650 that sounded similar
and his oil pump/tach gear came off and no oil was getting to the top end ,sounded the same as mine but have checked and my oil pump gear and tach are working fine.I have one of those Heiden oil filter/coolers with the Honda filter,could that be restricting the flow to much over the standard filter? Tried retarding my
timing a bit but no change.Jetting is bang on.Again this only happens when engine gets really hot.
