Kx 85 top end rattle.
« on: October 12, 2016, 03:26:22 AM »
Brand new 2017 kx85 sw. Right from initial start up there seems to be a "top end rattle", went to start running it in last night and it runs perfectly well, the noise seems to disappear as you rev / blip the throttle but comes back as it drops back to idle. Am I listening to hard lol ? Just come from ktm 65 so not used to the kwak yet. Thanks guys.

if possible, try to take a video/recording of it....not that that's the best way either, as it would be better to have someone next to the bike to actually hear it in person...but maybe we can come up with a few ideas.

I'd start by checking every bolt, motor mounts...to be sure nothing's loose.
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ
