You can try different brands of synthetics which I did and settled with amsoil. but that's a personal choice. And stay with 87 octane.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #51847 loadmaster (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 69 Re:engine knocking after it warms up good 1 Year, 1 Month ago   hi everybody, new guy here,i have a 2007 roadstar midnite with 400 mi on it, and a very annoying knock. it gives evey indication of a rod knock,the noise speeds up and slows down with throttle movement. i had it in to the dealer and he told me they hear the noise, looked for chips in the oil, talked to yamaha and decided i should put more miles on it as these engines are noisy. does this sound right to you more knowlegable folks?   Logged     I feel much better since i gave up hope   The administrator has disabled public write access. #51851 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13510 Re:engine knocking after it warms up good 1 Year, 1 Month ago   You could try getting the Yamalube oil out of there and going to a good 20/50 synthetic oil and see if it quiets down. Mine has a knock on the front cyl. Has had for a long time. Some Roadies get the knock, some don't. Doesn't seem to hurt anything but sounds like hell. I'm not saying thats what you have though and as long as it's under warranty don't let them blow you off with their usual excuses. loadmaster   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #51852 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation!

But it's a mechanical rhythm, not an "oh my god, where's THAT coming from" sound.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1138 Re:engine knocking after it warms up good 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Agree with BB on this: I never knew just how noisy they were till I installed my windshield. You'd think there were little gnomes on speed in there will ball peens having a party. I've come to accept that it's just the nature of the beast. You can stop that knocking sound by putting some loud pipes on your ride. Well, it won't stop, but you won't be able to hear it   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #51864 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4598 Re:engine knocking after it warms up good 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Mark7 wrote: Agree with BB on this: I never knew just how noisy they were till I installed my windshield.

Are you using regular octane? Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access. #51878 Envinyatar (User) It's not "what" you ride, it's "that" you ride.

Seemed to quiet down.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access.
