Engine 'noisy'
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2020 6:04 pm
I noticed on Sunday while on my way home from a day out the bike sounded - 'tappet', for want of a better word
Washed her today and took her for a spin to blow the water out of the nooks and crannies and brakes, as you do and again thought it just didn't sound right but worked without fault. I checked the oil when I got home and it needed a top up and took a litre of oil. Are these known for using oil ? Should I look at anything in particular, is it possible the rings could be worn even though its only done 8,500 miles ?
I'll keep a more dedicated eye on the oil from now on.
Any advice much appreciated
