  1. If it goes away or gets less when it warms up, I'd say it's the piston, rings, and cylinder wall. Those can make a ringing or bell like sound, particularly when cold. There's a lot of expansion on 2-strokes. It's all the heat generated from double the power stokes. They can be pretty loose when cold. Worst case would be stuck rings or worn piston skirt, but I'd think it would start smoking out the tailpipe with that.

    edit: And yeah, it doesn't sound bad from the video. Just louder than normal maybe.

    i do get a bit of white smoke

  2. Hi,

    I'm wondering what you guys think about the (penny) tingng noise of my 1972 Yamaha LS2 is making.

    I don't know if this is normal or not. I going to start commuting with it again and my wife is planning on doing the Lake Eeri loop event with me on the bike.
