Title: M696 Engine / Exhaust Noise Differs
Post by: muffinman on September 21, 2010, 11:26:03 AM
This is wierd.. I thought I was taking crazy pills at first but I've noticed it a few times now.  Sometimes, when I start up the bike and start riding, I'll notice the engine / exhaust combo sounds... weak... like a lawnmower (an exaggeration but you get the point).  The "clicking" sound that's always there is a bit more pronounced, the exhaust is FAR less "rumbly" but instead sounds like my old Ninja 250R. 

My fix has been to shut off the bike, let it sit for a few seconds and fire it back up - and..... we're back to normal.

Anyone else similar issues?  Anything I should be worried about?

As always, many thanks in advance
