Got a noise!
« on: July 22, 2010, 01:55:56 PM »
I need the expert advice from the great people of this forum, help!!!  :thumbup:  For the last few weeks, probably about 5-6 or so, I have been hearing this noise coming from under the bike when I ride.  The bike is fine at the beginning of the ride, but after it is plenty warmed up, is when the sound/noise starts.  It mainly occurs when I hit a hard bump in the road.  The only way I can describe it is a dull sneezing, coughing noise.  Swooshing sound.  Last Saturday on a ride, I was cornering a 40mph curve and the noise happened along with the bike cutting out for a moment or two....missing, losing power.  I have checked everything that I can think of, but can't find anything loose, unhooked or off.  :banghead:  Could it be the exhaust gasket?  Can someone give me some idea what to look at that I haven't.  Gumbo is coming over to see if he can figure it out, but wanted me to post this on the board for more opinions, help.

Thanks...guys!  :thumbup:

Things that come to mind are, since this started after your last valve job, I am thinking vacuum line pinched some where, the little thingie on the air box that you need to drain occasionally, maybe plug wire not having a good connection since it might have been removed during the valve job. 
The interesting part is it happens after hitting a hard bump, (try to avoid hitting bumps) and don't go around curves only ride on straight roads.  ;D ;D
I'd have to actually hear it and feel it to get a better idea.  ??? ???

If there is no fever, try two bottles of Benadryl in the tank.  Call a Mechanic in the morning. 

Yeah, that is SOOOO bad!   :redcard: :couch:

Sorry to the cyberjack!

If only the bike fairy would come tonight and wave her magic wand!!

I have new gaskets, shock bushings and new tires to go on!  Hopefully, one one those replacements will solve it!  :popcorn:
