What Causes Abnormal Noises from the Motorcycle Front End?
1 Answers
Abnormal noises from the motorcycle front end can be attributed to the following reasons: Excessive Gap in Positioning Groove: The positioning groove on the brake drum cover and the positioning gap on the shock absorber are too large, causing back-and-forth movement, which easily leads to abnormal noises from the motorcycle front end. Using an aluminum can as an adjustment shim to fill the gap, then reassembling and repeatedly testing the bike, the noise disappears, and the issue can be resolved. Thermal Expansion of Engine Components: Manufacturing processes cause engine components to expand when heated, increasing tolerances. Remove the cylinder head secured by three screws, adjust the valve clearance, and the abnormal noise can generally be eliminated after adjustment.
