Has anybody had this happen before? Over the last couple days, after a short while of driving my S3, it begins to make a noise, almost like it's pinging,...

it's hard to diagnose a sound via email, but i can tell you that my engine (2001 S3) makes "ticking" noise that comes and goes. i have a hard time locating it,...

Replace your primary chain tensioner first if it lacks the updated part (sometime in 2001 and later). It may not be this problem, but it will break soon...

Just did the 5,000 mike service on my 2001 M2L, no big hassles except the manual says I need some sort of "timing window plug" to go in the V between the...
if you're careful, you can do without the timing window plug. the timing plug is that bolt at the base of the "V". it just plugs a hole that lets you look at...
I just put in a V&H pipe on my '02 M2. I got the stainless steel one and was hoping the install would be easy-wrong! Had to lean the bike way over on its...
You'll definitely have to jet the carb. If you decide to replace the air cleaner, you may want to do that first since it will probably change the mixture...
I asked a few mechanics about that plug and it was unanimous. It sucks. The best way is to pull the bolt out and start the engine and expect to get some oil...
I've had the Vance-Hines system for a couple of years on my 2000 X-1, and here's what's gonna happen to it from the vibration of the engine. 1. The pop rivets...

I've gotten on this page and left bunches of advice for others on how to adjust their belts. I would like to take this opportunity to retract everything I've ...
Sorry to hear about your belts gene, that has to be a big headache and big expense. What was your old procedure? The advice I generally hear is about 1.5...

make sure the teeth on both the front and rear pulleys are nice and smooth. if one of the belts was damaged by a rock, it's possible the pulleys were damaged...
This is the history: The 1st broke at 9K miles. The theory is that it had been weakend from oil saturation from a rocker box leak while on a road trip. The...
the first one sounds like a bad belt. hey, it happens. i'm not buying the "oil saturation" idea, unless the thing was sitting wet with really dirty oil for a...

Good advice from Bill. I put 23,000km on the original belt, no problems even after it was oil soaked from a trans leak. I always followed Badweathers advice...
The "Wolf" is speaking the truth, I've been riding since I was 6 yrs old, uh I'm 38 by the way. The Buell is one of the most "interesting" bikes I've owned....
I have chosen not to chase after Buell for one reason only. I'm in the navy and going on a 6-7 month deployment in just over a week. Most of my household is...
Yikes! I'm a reservist in the Army, myself, and we've had one or two mobilization orders in our unit so far (for individuals that requested to be deployed, not...

This seems like a really stupid question to me for the people who want to convert to chain, but doesn't someone make a spring loaded chain tensioner that will...
