Tapping sound when under load
« on: September 07, 2009, 04:28:55 PM »
O.K. first off a little background that may help out. I installed a yosh full system this winter. put on a pcIII and proper map. Now once the motor comes up to temperature and I am releasing the clutch from a stop I can hear a tapping ticking sound. I do hear this in other gears as well. It MPH on the drag strip like other guys with the same setup same weight. SO I dont notice any HP loss. Im jsut wondering what this might be. I was told by a descent source it could be exhaust gaskets? Does this sound right?

Bike is an 06 with almost 12k on it. I bought it new. Like I said no problems before I changed exhaust.

Help Please.

Did you replace the EX gaskets with the new exhuast?

I would start there; replacing the EX gaskets and make sure the header bolts are nice and tight. :thumb:
