I have a 03 Rincon 650 That has a noise just above idle that is not very consistent. It kind of comes and goes like something loose. It sounds like a metal tingy noise almost as if a heat sheild or baffle is look in the exhuast but that is not it. I tore it apart to check things out. The valves are properly adjusted and the chain and tensioner look good. Just wondering if anyone know a common problem or has expirienced this. I was told it could possibly be the auto compresion relase but not sure. any help would be great.
I believe it to be resonance vibration in the exhaust shield, mine does it too. mine also whines terrible on and off till it is warmed up. i was told by the factory rep that it is the antifreeze getting sucked out of the bottle but after 4000 miles no problems with either one.
