I always thought that the valves on both these motors rattled and that it was just a fact of life that I had to put up with. That ringing metallic sound that really doesn't impress the spectators and detracts from the nice burble and dulcet tones of a good four stroke etc.
I keep my valves set exactly as per spec but I find the nasty ringgggg-ding ding ding sound is the centrifugal clutch clipping the bell housing at low revs.
This should be fixable and the spectators will stop laughing as I approach.
I might try a stronger spring around the clutch. I've tried reversing the clutch but that was so the pads wore more evenly after 4000 kms they became noticeably more worn on one side so I turned the clutch around to even the wear That shouldn't matter one iota I reckon cos it works the same either way.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to stopping the ringing clang so I can reclaim my lost street cred and impress the great unwashed as I blast by on my Indian Pacific Honda Grubee. Tell me I'm not the only victim of this embarrassing tinny din. You all get this nasty noise dont you? You all see them s******ing in your rear view mirror.
