Thanksgiving noise

bigbird1219 · Nov 24, 2011

can anyone give me some advice to what this noise it? i was riding it normally the other day, not getting on it or anything, when it just all of the sudden started making this "ping" sounding noise. Since i had heli-coiled of the headbolts a few weeks prior, i thought it had come out, so i re-heli-coiled the same bolt, took it out today and it was still making the noise. i have provided a video, sorry for the shotty camera work. (skyhawk 80cc)

Late night bump! No help?

I am not hearing any unusual noises, buy it could be that I am on a laptop, with tiny internal laptop speakers.

idk, i swear it is making this pinging sound that it has never made before. but, i suppose i'll just ride it till either it breaks or it goes away

Try making the spark plug gap a little bit smaller and see if the noise changes in any way, or goes away.

maybe the plugs loose, when mine changed sound it was the screw that holds the baffle in. check both intake and exhaust gaskets. head too. usally the owner hears the difference. sometimes loose mounts too. goodluck dennis
