Ok riders need some feed back on the bikes. Mine has developed what i think on start up a bit to much tappet noise. It started with a much louder noise one arvo when i left work. So the honda dealer being just up the road i(not the one we purchased the bike from) went straight there to see the mechanic.
His response was that it didn't sound to bad. No need to do anything about it ,so upon this i took his word. At the time the bike had done around 3000ks. It did settle down so at my 6month service i advised my dealer from where we bought the bike about my concerns. Once again from this mechanic he advised me nothing was wrong .
On starting up now it makes tappet noise until warmed up. Steve also thought it was to much noise and we saw a mechanic in Ipswich who believed it wouldn't hurt to check the clearances. So i took it back to the local once again and they kept it over night to listen to it on start this morning. Went there after work and he shook his head and said no worries mate the noise is not excessive and to wait untill the 12 month service. He said though that i could get it checked but at the cost of the job.
My original dealer we got the bike from(the one we will never use again) apparently never did a valve check on the 1st service, to which Steve had showed me from his dealer ship in toowoomba. I am going to get it done for just the peace of mind bit , but the thing is if something goes wrong would they fix it under warranty? Somehow from what i have gathered from these blokes it would be a big fat NO.
Any how the bike is fine bar for this and i thought i would ask my friends here on the forum how yours are going. Does the same thing happen to your bikes or not. They have told me this is a common thing for the VT 750s so as we have a few more older bikes than mine i was wondering how they are going.
I will be booking it in in the coming week.
Cheers Ray
