DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE??????

 

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'

 

ok not to sound like a dumb *** 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

 

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???
