Clattering/Hammering Noise

[Sara]

I took the Spyder out today, and the same noise is there that started on the first mile I rode it. The engine, I believe, has a generalized loud sound, but now with a thousand miles on it, there is a contiuned slight "clattering or hammering noise" that even if it doesn't hurt the engine, I don't like it. In some ways it reminds me of an old Hillman, English car I had---it started hammering then blew a rod. Obviously the Spyder sounds are not that bad----just more than I'd like. My engine in my old Honda ST 1100 was commonly noisey, so I dropped a quart of Hyper-Lube in it, and the noise stopped to never return. I wonder if Hyper-Lube would hurt the Spyder??? What do you think??

With all this talk about friction modifier in none BRP motor oil, I don't think that be a good idea. You might fix the noise but end up with a bigger problem. IMHO

I'm somewhat surprised that you didn't have any clutch issues on the ST. I just read the data on this and I would be very reluctant to use it in the Spyder.

If you thing the noise is not normal I would take it back to the dealer and have them check it out.
