reed noise?

[mgrey]

has anyone ever heard their reeds making noise...i'm hearing , like a plastic flapping sound and i cant tell where exactly it's coming from ? the sound gets very faint after an idleing warm up.and the reeds have been in for a season and a half .just boyesen power reeds .

I can hear mine at idle but I have pod filters off the carb I dont know if you can hear it with a bike with with a airbox but I guess it just depends on how loud your pipes are :biggrin:

Last time and the only time i ever heard the reeds making noise i had one that had rattled loose. So i wood pull your reeds and cheack to see if one is loose. if thy are pull the skrus out and put some tread lock on them then tighten them up.

A normal reed opening and closing event, assuming the reeds are not worn out and have not broken, should not be audible. It happens too quickly to make a discernable sound. If you can hear them, there is more than likely something wrong. A simple brank case compression test should tell the tale......... :geek:
