Noise

Post by plasmid »

Hey guys,

Any idea what the high frequency metallic noise is - from about 0.20 on?

Sounds like the exhaust header is rattling because you don't have any mufflers on it and the outlets of the header pipe is unsecured.

May also be something as simple as a vibrating kickstand spring.

Silence at last, sounds like a proper Paso, maybe too quiet ;)

It was the exhaust header. But before it was making the noise with the exhausts on also. That's why I had removed them.


Btw - changed the oil to Total Racing 10w50 synth. Normally I use Motul 5100 10w50 or 15w50.
Total feels better, abs. super super silky smooth. And cheaper than Motul.

Has anyone used Silkolene in their Paso? I ended up with a bunch of it
and I'm wondering if I should keep it.
