I know that the motor in the Buell is noisy. But I feel like mine has more "knock" at idle than others. The knock goes away as soon as I touch the throttle, so I don't think it's anything serious. It's also not the primary (it's within spec). I blip the throttle a bit in the video for illustration: http://www.youtube.com/embed/Qp0wO2YcO0M | ||

it sounds a lot like my Uly. | ||

Sounds pretty normal to me. Try pulling the exhaust valve cable, under the air cleaner cover and see if the noise changes. NOTE: Do not move the exhaust actuator cam by hand, it can damage the gear drive inside. | ||

Teeps: My exhaust valve actuator is completely removed, along with the cables. The bike has a drummer on it (with a quiet cap in the tip). So you guys have a bit of a light "knock" at idle too? | ||

A good trick is to hold a towel over the exhaust outlet. You can hold it there just long enough to quiet the exhaust noise and hear any engine sounds. |
