Guys, I'm new to the group and am trying to absorb some technical knowledge from you guys since I am just a beginner mayself. Also, There is very little local help available here in Newfoundland, Canada and I beleive I'm the only 99 rider in the Province.
Anyway, I have several issues that may be connected and would appreciate some opinions. I will likely have to bring it to the local shop for the work but I would like to understand what's going on. Here goes:
- 99 with 26,000km (16,000mi)
1) I have been getting some baffling and recently some small pops of backfiring when I deccelerate.
2) Since the beginning of the season I have noted a whistling noise when I accelerate. Much like the sound of a Turbo whistle.
3) I have no access to a dyno here in Newfoundland but I am convinced that my performance is deteriorating.
4) The bike has an oil pressure cam chain tensioner but I'm getting a fairly noisy chatter when idling.
I don't know if any of this is related to one specific problem but I would really appreciate any help. I am trying my best to get educated, since we don't have a great service center here. I had a service done at 24000km but I don't know what they did other than change the oil and install my new chain and sprockets.
Thanks
