Hey guys I have a couple questions hopefully someone has some sort of input.
I noticed last year I started to get some sort of rattle within the right side of my exhaust. I first noticed this after a good 90 minute ride. Came home wanted to hear the bike after a longer ride so revved to around 3000ish rpm. I can’t remember if it’s the acceleration or deceleration that caused some sort of rattle on the right side alone.
First thought was perhaps something got in there, was put in there, baffle is wearing down, or even broken. I tightened up my clamps / heat shields but still the problem persists.
Spoke with a mechanic while buying fork oil for a different bike, he said start by taking the mufflers off. If the sound continues then you know it’s not the muffler. I will be doing this hopefully in a few here. Thought my battery was good and charged but couldn’t get the bike to start.
After fully charging it and testing with a multimeter I’m getting a reading of 12.39 which is I remember correctly is a battery on its way out. I did purchase the OEM yausa? Been a few years since I’ve had it but now they’re around 160-200.
Anyone have any battery recommendations? Or would you even change the battery yet? I know everyone has their own opinion. Looking for something fresh. Buy one from farm and fleet, get OEM, go Amazon. Too much to choose from.
What are your thoughts on the exhaust? I noticed I can’t remove the baffles? I have no idea what the next step is besides getting it started and checking to see if the noise happens when cold.
Side note - I have yet to go for a ride this year. Battery was apparently too dead to start so took it inside for a charge before putting on the bike.
Apologies for the long winded post. Hoping to get some help here
