low end noise ??
« on: April 08, 2007, 09:10:29 PM »
I've noticed that when my k5 is sitting at idle rpm it has a low rumbling,rattling sound in the bottom end. I can't hear it at all when its throttled up. a riding buddy told me that he has heard other kx's making the same noise and he thinks it's no big deal. I'm not so sure. any thoughts? thanks in advance.

KIPS valves rattling? Or maybe it's time for new 0-rings and crush washer for the your pipe. Check your pipe springs.
