June 10, 200521 yr when my riding my pro up the road in the higher gears there appears to be like an on and off knocking at gentle revs or i cnt quite explain it at first i thort it mite be the disk guard or something but it sounds too close to the engine .any one got any ideas or am i jus over acting and also how long shud it take for the fan to kick in mine comes in after about 5 10 mins ive checked the coolant level its full, again any ideas?????????????Thanks for anyfeedback in advance much appreciated
June 10, 200521 yr Not sure about the noise? As for the fan, mine doesnt take long to kick in either! It maybe due to the small radiator thus allowing the coolant to heat up quicker? Think its pretty normal tho?
June 10, 200521 yr The fan cuts in on mine after around 10 mins so yeah thats normal. Dunno what the knocking is. Is it pinking??
June 10, 200521 yr It's a normal sort of noise for a GG, in the end it explode into a thousand bits and you'll have to buy a new one ..clever marketing by GG I'd say
June 10, 200521 yr Author its just a bit of a noise when i come off the revs going steady speed sounds a bit like when the chains dry but tiny bit louder?????????????
June 10, 200521 yr How worn are your chain and sprockets? Are the sprockets hooked at all? Just a shot in the dark really.
June 11, 200521 yr It's a normal sort of noise for a GG, in the end it explode into a thousand bits and you'll have to buy a new one ..clever marketing by GG I'd say & this slaphead never learns much either. Why put stupid, no brain comments?
June 11, 200521 yr Stupid no brain comments have almost become a way of life for some, a religion you might say. In which case, under the new British law, you may be guilty of inciting religious hatred I'll be checking with my legal team.
June 11, 200521 yr & this slaphead never learns much either. Why put stupid, no brain comments? Well Said Bikespace is right, worn chain & sprocket set-up's can be noisey, worn bearings etc. worth a check
June 11, 200521 yr One other possibility, I used to get a knock when "blipping" the throttle from low revs, but it was much worse when running on poor fuel (ie anything less than the best). If you're not using the best fuel available then you should. It makes all the difference. Either use optimax or the best Super Unleaded you can get. Of course it could be loads of things but a couple of ideas anyway.

Why put stupid, no brain comments? Slaphead "& this slaphead never learns much either. Why put stupid, no brain comments?" Bit of a laugh PERCE, but mainly to get self righteous pricks like you wound up!
June 19, 200521 yr you the man marky g, you tha man! yer mine make that noise too, and ive got new chain and sprokets, and use uptimax. i think markys comment is probs the best diagnosis lol.
