[dsn_klr650] help? knocking sound.
Jim,
This is not intended to be funny, this is quite serious--have you considered that the noise may be your chin strap flapping in the wind or perhaps your jacket collar etc.? What you describe is very likely manifested from air flow (i.e. leaning over tank you cannot hear the sound, but sitting upright you can, it only happens at 50 mph, you cannot reproduce the sound with the bike stationary etc.), so check anything that may 'flap' in the air at speed.

This is the exact cause of a knocking I had. It stopped when I ziped the collar of me jacket up all the way. I would still be looking for the sound if a friend hadnt asked if the collar slapping me hurt. crazydave _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html> > Rob >

I had a snap on a visor pop loose and heard that engine is going to blow up sound.
A KLR would never let go of a rod with that few miles on it.

My shirt collar has caused this beating against my helmet a speed. It is amazing how loud a little flap of cloth can be hitting your helmet.

no offense intended, but have you checked to be sure your chain isn't too
tight? a little loose is better than a little tight (chains, folks).

No offense taken. But let me assure all of you that I have gone over and
over all things chain and sprocket related. I have gotten a ruler out and
set the slack to exactly 2.2 inches. I also made it tighter just to see if
that affected anything, which it did not.

Seattle VME meeting KLR, are you on the list? (nklr?) Yep, looks like Dante's is just down Roosevelt. Haven't been there myself, but I found it on Expedia.
Is that near Dante's Steak and Grog and Giggles?
