There has been a strange whining noise, coming from right side. I will try to make a new video, as it can't be heard on this one clear enough.
It's a Gen 2, at 34.000kms. Bike is due valve clearance check at 40.000; I was wondering if I should change CCT+Chain during that service. TB will be synched as well.
@sandro1973 I have been following your other thread regarding engine noise and I find that your engine runs a lot smoother in comparison to mine. This cold start whine has been bugging me, but then again maybe I am being oversensitive.
I bought mine with 72.000 km ( or 45.000 miles ) and you never now the kind of use ( or abuse ) it had, even if it "looks" good. I also had no idea on what kind of sounds it is supposed to make or not make. It's still hard for me to trust everything is fine, but after taking to a good mechanic and the bike running better, sounding better ( less chain rattle but still there ), i have to try not to think about it and just assume it is a noisy bike and everything has been checked and tuned, since it was....and i'm a bit "paranoid" with engine noises...
Before having all this work done ( all 8 valves were tight, camchain was on its last legs, CCT was on the limit and couldn't stretch it more, 2 spark plugs had rust, FI bodies were out of synch ), i stopped feeling lack of power up to 3.000 rpm on the first 3 gears....pulls like a train....uses less fuel....sounds much better and has a bit less engine noise / clatter / rattle, whine and vibrates much less on acceleration, specially pulling from low revs in a higher gear. Pretty sure yours will also benefit from some fine tuning.
If you had your bike since new and know it better than i know mine, and if you're now noticing a difference, then you should take it in consideration when you take it to the shop. If you're doing the valve check, a new chain will cost you about 40 to 60 euros since the valve cover will already be off....why not....? I've never read anything about failing 2nd Gen CCT's, so i'm keeping my original.
