Cota 200 Info Please

Recommended Posts

I have recently bought a cota 200 and am very pleased with it other than one niggling thing.

The engine is a bit loud for my liking. The noise it is making is hard to describe but seems to be in the heart of the engine and not a rattle from one side or another. This noise happens as as you kick it as well but does not get worse with revs. Just mainly at idle and slow running. The bike starts first time and runs a treat but this noise is worrying me.

Could it be mains? or maybe a clutch rumble?

It needs to be checked out to be on the safe side so where is the best place to get it looked at in the UK (midlands would be good)

Cheers Ed

After investigation I found it is the drive side main bearing at fault. The oil in the clutch/gearbox was very low and smelled of petrol. I think the drive side bearing is lubricated by the gear oil and has burned away and thus let petroil in.

Oh well engine out and sent off.
