jimmyl Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Having also just got a second hand 2005 4rt I have had similar doubts but maybe its just the way they are. I guess as a previous 2 stroke owner I am not used to all the extra mechanical noise associated with a 4rt especially when cold and clearances are larger. Does the map installed on throttle body make a difference to the audible engine noise, ie more or less retarded? Does anyone have good/bad experience of tappet adjustment. Any tips and does it make a difference? Mine also make a whine from the primary drive gearing as soon as load is applied (in gear, clutch in or out). I have changed oil to ATF and had cover off and apart from minor play on the centre needle roller all looks fine. How much play is "normal" on clutch basket? I will change bearing in near future to see if it eliminates this whine. Anybody else got similar noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
