September 20, 201015 yr Hello there Completely new to this game, purchased an 03 scorpa to keep my active over the winter. eBay purchase and when I went topic it up there is a distinct engine knock. The lad I purchased it from confidently assures me that this the norm and there is nothing to worry about! Is he correct or have I been royaly ripped off? Positive input welcome Thanks
September 20, 201015 yr It's hard to say without hearing it ! Mine ( same bike ) sounds a bit noisy and rattly, but this hasn't increased since I've owned it. Apparently it's just a good Yamaha way of letting you know the engine is running when you've got the helmet on !!!
September 20, 201015 yr I've had my '05 from new and it still sounds fairly quiet, (I only ride the easy stuff) I have noticed others that sound quite mechanical, even fairly new ones. As mentioned above, it really is difficult to say without hearing it run.
September 20, 201015 yr A rattle maybe but a knocking noise is generally a sign of pending doom. DOOOM I TEL THEE, DOOM LIKE IVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, RUN TO THE HILLS I would let someone listen to it and then consider what to do.
