    Engine ticking

    I wish that my engine had a ticking noise !!! the engine on my 2020 gt (32,000 kilometres admittedly} sounds like a handful of nuts and bolts have been thrown into the engine. Sorry to say it, but your worries are just at the beginning in my experience. I hope I'm wrong in your case however.

    my rocket 3 gt nightmare

    they went the new washer route First,without success.this meant engine out,and a complete dismantling of the bike. I'm talking bare bones dismantling.to a bare frame.the gearbox cover had to be sent for some treatment,using some kind of resin,then baked to a high temperature.I don't know if all...
