Get some Seafoam, Ringfree, or MMO and run it in the gas for a few tanks and get the inside of the motor cleaned up and see if it helps.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #50591 yamahog7 (Visitor) JUST RIDE!!!!

Heard That ... it's the nature of the Roadie beast!You can add V&H longshots, will help reduce the knocks up front ... but will add the the Roar in the rear Like pop said try a synthetic oil... it might help. Quieted mind down a little bit. What oil and gas would you recommend?????   Logged     www.myspace.com/norulesriders_yamahog www.lonestarrider.net www.rallyuptexas.com www.hogfestbikerally.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #50592 realriderfbc (User) Love to Ride Fresh Boarder Posts: 13 Re:engine knocking after it warms up good 4 Years, 6 Months ago   This bike is totaly stock. I like to run hard at times myself. I just bought the bike last weekend in Miami and rode it back to Jax. 75 & 80 mph all the way. Runs great and I love the bike.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #50594 realriderfbc (User) Love to Ride Fresh Boarder Posts: 13 Re:engine knocking after it warms up good 4 Years, 6 Months ago   Ok thanks for the tip.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #50596 realriderfbc (User) Love to Ride Fresh Boarder Posts: 13 Re:engine knocking after it warms up good 4 Years, 6 Months ago   Thanks for the info!

I doubt if yer timing is off ...if she starts well..etc The type of knock you are experiencing is normal and you are hearing the internal engine noises when the piston after the big explosion..hammers the connecting rods and main bearings if the main bearings are gone ...you will know it...   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/11/12 19:16 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #50599 JetBlast (User) ....
