Ryan_c_F Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have never tried that, but I have two 3' screw drivers that go largely un-used. Let me know if I need to bring one to work for you to borrow. Can arrange to drop it off after work, or you can pick it up during the day or something. I think I have a couple items that'll work.

Ryan_c_F Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I think I got a fairly good recording of it. Sounds like it's coming from behind the engine case. I could hear it most clearly on the left side, down behind the bike along the center line. Chuffing along maybe 8 beats per second... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cSpjezwews PS -- loud.

Gixxus Christ! Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I appreciate the work you put into making the video but the audio on this is too dirty with the exhaust noise, other engine noise and the echos of those noises off the walls of your garage. Needs to be heard in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yea, need to hear it in person, but it does sound like lifters to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_c_F Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 OK, so... this thing should stay garaged then, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yea, until a pro or semi-pro listens. I can listen Saturday real quick..say late morning if you want. I am not far, Seven Hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm going to put 5 bucks on it and say your X up valve is worn out and its rattling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm going to put 5 bucks on it and say your X up valve is worn out and its rattling.At 20k? Not questioning your judgment...just seems pretyI soon for that. do hope you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Exup would be a pretty cheap fix...easier than pulling the valve cover off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) At 20k? Not questioning your judgment...just seems pretyI soon for that. do hope you are right.Very common. I chased a rattle on my bike for 3 years, had 26k on it when I got it. Exup valve ended up being the offender. They have some junk bushings in them, and wear out rather quickly.www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105075 Edited May 30, 2014 by oldschoolsdime92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_c_F Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 In looking into the descriptions of the noise, I don't think it'd be that, though. Most common thing I'm seeing is a rattling noise described. This isn't a rattle so much as a tapping noise, about once per rev, very regular and it changes with the engine revs. Unless it was the exhaust pulse knocking the EXUP plate in its mount I doubt it's the EXUP.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Its easy to disassemble, just pull it apart and see if its sloppy. Your not out anything by trying. When chasing something like this I like to start by using the KISS method. KeepItStupidSimple As others have said it runs. It isn't running bad. Try not to jump to worst case scenario right away. The noise I think I hear in your video, I'm 90% sure is your exup valve. Thats why so many people remove them. They can't stand the noise.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I made you a video of mine. Stock exhaust installed, it's as Noisey as a john Deere tractor. I've never heard one that was quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
