So rode my 959 to Thruxton for bsb ylon Sunday but when I went to ride home the bike felt different. The engine seemed louder and the exhaust more harsh and it was lumpy at constant throttle. Any ideas on what's wrong? It was fine riding up there. Cheers, Mark
Forget ear plugs? LOL Did you fill up before? Bad fuel maybe? Normally if exhaust valve you get a MIL light
Nothing obvious with the lower fairings on. I'll take them off tonight and check. The bike has only done 1,300 miles. Are cracked pipes a thing on the 959 then?
Are you sure nothing was nicked from your bike whilst you were watching the racing ? It won’t be the first time that’s happened. Andy
Have had a mirror and some Ti calliper bolts nicked from Thruxton before. And some other bolts from Brands. It’s why I won’t go unless I can park inside.
Ive heard tales of full exhaust systems going walkies from Brands BSB before. Have you still got your end cans lol?
Unless you did something to cause it (and how could you?!!) must be covered Have you started/ridden since? Is it only over a certain revs?
I started it yesterday. It seems to idle a bit higher than before, say 1800 rpm. Harshness seems to be there at idle but obviously more noticeable when revved.
Blow-by from breather? smoke from one exhaust, Only cracked pistons I have seen have usually got a valve head stuck in them?
