Hi guys,
I have an 04 fe550 45hrs on it, last 4 hours of riding has slowly developed engine noise,just inspected top end and all is like new.Found auto deccompresion shaft and counter weight to have a reasonable amount of movement and play in it, dont think that is causing noise, is that right to have small amount of play there?
At 40 hrs found small 1mm shaving of aluminium on oil screen and tiny shavings on magnetic plug.However this is second 04 550 and same shavings etc. were found until it passed 50 hr mark.
If anyone has any idea as to where to start looking I would be greatful, or has had simular problem.First 04 got 8000kms no trouble.Bike runs fine and have rechecked valve clearances and noise is still there......
