Engine Rattle

Featured Replies

More info please

Has anyone ever had a rattle from the engine, similar in sound to a dry clutch rattle, but not as loud.

My 05 250 started to do it on Sunday, interestingly it stopped when the bike was pointing downhill, regardless whether the clutch was in/out.

It would also stop on its own accord just ticking over but would start again if i revved the engine. I thought it was gonna seize on me but there is loads of compression and the bike starts everytime.

Any ideas lads?

Cheers in advance

Steve

Cheers R2Wtrials, will give it a look.

I also thought it might be the water pump, mindless guess I think, or is it clutching at straws.

Took your advise on the carb 2, spent 1 1/2 hours trying to start it on sunday with much kicking it over, cursing, bump starting etc. only to find out there was no spark and **** in the carb.

I really do despair of myself sometimes.
