DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE??????

RE: new 954 owner need some help!!!
 

Yes, relax and actually give your thread a little time to ruminate. Lots of very educated people here, you'll get help.

I think it's the CCT... Mine has been doing it since I bought it (~3 years ago) and haven't had a problem with it. My 2cent.

you want to check and make sure the knueter valve is properly aligned and adjusted. If it isn't it'll starve the rotor calipers of oil and thus the sound 'bb's in a can'

RE: new 954 owner need some help!!!
 

ok not to sound like a dumb ass but i was always told it is better to ask... than to act like u know and make a fool of ur self. so if u dont mind where exactly is the knueter valve? and what function does it have? work at all with the cct or diff part of motor? thanks for the help.

Congrats your a ****ing moron! Seriously why would you even give a respose like this to someone, Dammit you really pissed me off.


JLB ignore this post, the guy is just playing with you. As for serious advice i can tell you this, our bikes do have a lot of natural valve train noise. To me it sounds like what you are hearing is normal. Mine did get a bit louder at around 15,000 miles and i did replace my cct (with at manual one). It helped the extra noise i was hearing at the time, but it still sounds like a few bb's in a can. So if you have higher milage (dont see yours listed at all) then you can consider it, but its not likely your problem. It should also be perfectly safe to ride as well, get out and enjoy it, you will get used to the noise.

so my bike is high miliage... should i concider changing cct to mcct or is it pointless considering it is still goin to make same sound. it rides smoth and pulls hard so should i worry at all. or just ride like hell to drown out the rattle LOL.

Replied to your PM, anwer is in there.

Also dont freak out if you make a post here and it takes a half a day or a day to get an answer. We have had some forum problems recently, and lost some of our members. This also isnt the busiest site or section alive. That said there are a few of us who check this daily at least, so if you dont get an answer right away, just hang in there ;)

RE: new 954 owner need some help!!!
 

thanks for the poss help. i will look into the cct. should i go with changing it to a mcct or is it a waist of time???

RE: new 954 owner need some help!!!
 

As tk954rr so eloquently pointed out, I was messing with you. I hope you didn't lose sleep over it;) (google knueter valve)

As for tk954rr, I put a post on forums once in awhile like this for people just like you. That would be the uptight ain't been laid in awhile kind with no sense of humor. But I'm sure you won’t see the humor in that as well, so my work here, in this thread, is now complete.

And remember, it's better to be pissed off, than pissed on.....

RE: new 954 owner need some help!!!
 

Ya know your wrong. I do have a sense of humor, and in the right place a can appreciate it. However this is a new member, asking a serious questions, and the fact that he attempted to take your advice is all the proof i need. So if i dont come in here, this guy goes to the dealer tomorrow asking about a knueter valve, and gets laughed outa the place. So he thinks we are a bunch of dicks and never comes back. To me thats not funny, we need good new members here. Now had you posted that after the guy got a real answer, or in a thread even by a veteran who would know its a joke is a whole nother thing and i could laugh about it. There is a place and a time, this wasnt it, and im sorry you cant see that.

RE: new 954 owner need some help!!!
 

ha ha very funny!!!! just googled what knueter vavle was. nice joke but i was looking for some serious advice. and not for any thing i am glad at least a few of u r willing to help the new guy with out fukn with him. i do appreciate it and please keep sending all the advise u guys may have.

954 and 929 have very thin engine casings thats probably it, or i heard if it sounds like rocks clanking around by ur feet check ur clutch
