I AM GOING CRAZY WITH THIS NOISE. COULD ANYONE WITH THE SAME BIKE START THEIR BIKE AND TELL ME IF THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE OR TAPPING NOISE FROM THE GEAR BOX AREA(LOWER)PART OF THE MOTOR .OR ANY IDEAS OF WHAT THIS COULD BE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA SHOP AND LET THE MOST QUALIFED TECH LOOK AT THE BIKE HE DROVE IT AROUND AND DID A OIL CHANGE FOR ME AND SAID IT WAS A LOWER CRANK NOISE. BUT ITS OK BECAUSE THATS HOW MY BIKE BROKE IN AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.I DONT LIKE THAT ANSWER... NOW ON THE OTHER HAND MY BROTHER IN LAW HAS A 2005 FOREMAN I HEAR THE NOISE IN HIS BUT IT IS MUCH LESS OF A KNOCK THAN MINE IS THIS MOTOR KNOCKY NORMALLY DO YOU THINK I SHOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER SHOP OR JUST KEEP RIDIN IT........THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS.......TIM
I would not like that answer either. I would take it somewhere else and/or call Honda. 1-866-784-1870
The end result would be a engine rebuild. Run it till it dies. (unless it's under warranty)
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE GUYS.
