Hi folks, I have just been for a tour around Cumbria for a few days and had a blast (once my back straightened out!) but have come back with a couple of niggles... Should the steering damper have any vertical play in it? If I grip mine and lift it it will move about 5mm up and down at both...

Have a TL1000s. 46000 kilometres and use it for my 80 mile daily comute. This morning and yesterday when I started it up from cold it there was a load rattling noise coming from the engine area... yes I know this is vague. It went away after 10 seconds and the bike behaved perfectly in both...

Why fit these ? Noise tests for MOT (UK )etc ? Looks like they may be overly quiet !! :O http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Suzuki-TL1000s-SV1000-Wolf-quiet-baffles_W0QQitemZ120485458702QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Parts?hash=item1c0d7e330e

My TL is currently off the road thanks to a failed damper, but before this happened, the front wheel started making a ticking/clicking noise once per revolution. There's no speedo cable on these, and the brakes seem to be fine, so I'm guessing this is the bearings on their way out?

I just replaced the fuel filter with one located outside the tank, and now I have the bike back together it will not start, and the fuel pump is making a weird noise while it primes (it makes the usual high pitched whine, then halfway through priming it starts to make another whining noise that...

Okay, I put a set of rear pads on my TLR last week and forgot to adjust the pedal down. I adjusted the pedal just now, but for the last couple of days, I get a whistling sound when I lightly apply the rear brakes. It's not a squealing, sounds just like someone whistling.. Which generally...

I experienced some wierd loud noise, when i crank to start the engine. It only happens when the engine is cold. The sound is something like a growling cat ... something like that. Does anybody know what is wrong??? Is it because of some spoilt oil filter or something? Kindda scary...but...

First I want to say hello to everybody, Two days ago i bought my first TL1000R. I was looking to buy this bike for over 3 years and I finally did. That's when my troubles started :banghead. When I bought my bike I drove it for 300 km to my house and there were no problems. The engine sound...

Hi, I have only just purchased my TLR and i have a noise comming from my front brakes it's more of a clunking rather than a noise, but when i press on the lever the noise dissapears, so i was thinking loose brake pads or rattling pins, the brakes work fine but the clunking is getting on my...

Are these enforced? I wouldn't be happy having hired a van, driven to Silverstone/Mallory/Donington then finding I can't ride cos the bikes too loud :O The TLR is as loud as any bike I've ever heard :laugh Sounds great to me, but how loud is 105db anyway? :confused

On my new TL I need to do a couple more things. First an oil change. Is there any issue putting full synthetic in the bike? I belong to a co-op and the price difference between semi and full is negligible, so unless it'll cause issues I'd just put full in. My coolant is running low, but instead...

Anyone know the noise level of a TLR in standard form, I have Micron 'road legal' cans on at the moment, 2 days after a 300 mile ride my ears are still ringing making me think I won't pass the Donnington Park track limit of 98dB (quoted as equiv to 100dB static)???, anyone know? Chris

hi all i have justed completed a 1600 mile tour of scotland and in the closing 200 miles or so my tlr (1999) started to make a grinding/banging noise when i throttled down from about 85 ish in top gear. When throttling down gently the noise did not happen. I then tried to get it to do the same...

hi everyone i`m writing this at work has i was due to go on my bike but, Within 5 mins of setting off the gearbox has started to make a whiring noise in 6th gear which i`ve never heard before when riding the bike so i turned back round and used my car instead. The weird thing is the noise is...

So, how do UK folks calm their pipes down to meet UK trackday 105db noise tests :O So far I have only done a couple, and they have been non-restricted, but might be dpoing one soon where they have apparently spent a fair bit over christmas on noise testing equipement to keep the local council...

I am getting a crunching sort of noise when bike is pushed along, or wheel turned on paddock stand. Seems to be from front sprocket area. Is there a bearing or anything that could be replaced without a strip down of the engine? The bike has only done approx 11k miles, but is used for drag racing.

any one know what the maximum noise level regulation is for road bikes. after doing a bit of searchin it seems that alot of the time an mot pass/fail is down to the discretion of the tester. but i want to know what the maximum permisable level is?:O
