FZ400 engine noise (YouTube video attached)
#16
The throttle was fully opened.

This is my first bike. I bought it last winter and purchased engine repair in our local service, They said I have to put new rings, so I agree. They put new rings and told me that compression was 9-9-9-9 and that's damn good for 18 years old bike. throughout the season (since May to today) I've added about 2 litres of oil. Well, of course, they could have mistaken by fitting rings incorrectly, but I prefer not to think about it.  :\ Hope valve clearance check will solve the problem. I'll do it myself.

Here in Russia it's very difficult to find 400cc bike in good condition, because it's considered to be a bike for a newbie (not by law, but by bikers themselves). People buy old 400cc from 90s for 1-2 years, ride like madmen and then change it 600cc/1000cc, not bothering too much about compression and so on. It's considered to be unwise to spend money on 400c. But I love my bike and I feel, that its 53hp with 180km/h is enough for me, so I've already spent more than a half from its start cost for different repair works. Well...  :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes Smile
