Hi guys, ive recently purchased this bike, anyway it has a engine rattle that is constant and rpm dependant but oddly and confusingly it entirely goes away when the bike is leant over a little bit to the left. If you stand it upright or lean it to the right it just remains the same..?? The bike runs like it should apart from the noise (which sounds like a bad top end rattle). Please can anyone shed any light on this??

Does the noise go quieter or stop when you pull the clutch lever, if so its the usual Gag Gas 'character' that goes hand in hand with the sensation of the engime falling out when changing gear from 4th to 5th.

Hi there, thanks fir your reply but it is in no way affected by the clutch, im really stuck with this one lol any other ideas?

Complete guesses

Clutch touching engine case

Kick start idler gear

Is it the bearing or something loose catching inside the engine.

Had same bike myself with exact same noise was basically exactly as you describe had it in bits rebuilt and still did it just put it down to character of bike
