• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Is this Belt Noise from Left side of engine normal? Goes away when warmed up?

Belt type noise coming from my engine left side, goes away when it heats up. Never noticed it before, is this normal? John.

There are some here who have exceptional hearing ( you might be one :clap: ) and have noticed some " whine " from the previous re-design of the front pulley .... The last re-design the " white ones " were supposed to cancel that whine .... Now it has been reported that another NEW design is coming to Correct the " pulley failure rate for pulley's made after 2014 ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
 
I have the whine at 70 Km/h, goes away at 71 km/h, under 70 no whining. Cannot wait for the new white pulley/sprocket
 
Thank you for the reply. I am talking about when the bike is first started, not on the move. It comes from the engine when cold.

Have that also and on my second pulley (a white one).

I would suspect it's rather related to somekind of harmonic vibration of the belt.
Maybe lowering the tension might help I've got mine set to the recommended 180lbs/ft.

Totally normal. Mine does it and I think all are doing it, still more noticeable on some then others.

It has been described as marbles jumping around inside and I believe it may have to do with the engine having a dry sump.
