hi I have a 2017 Thruxton r with 1900 km on the odo...have got the mandatory servicing done along with the ECU flash (for the stalling problem) have recently noticed a Clunk-Clunk-Clunk doing along with the Click sound of the Tappet....since this is my first bonnie...I wanna know if it's normal or does it need to be shown to the dealer
Hi Bhawani and welcome to the Triumph Asylum I've just listened to the two video clips and as far as I can tell that engine sounds perfectly normal. Just one question - was the engine fully warmed up when you made the recordings?
Hi Thank you everyone for the input, but unfortunately the problem it still there, have also started noticing a very prominent vibration in the foot pegs and the handlebars when accelerating ( and believe me I know vibration I have owned Royal Enfield bullets in the past)....can there be a possibility of a broken valvevornpiston slap this early in the bike or I am really beginning to get paranoid
Sounds fine to me but if you are still unsure take it to a dealer and let them have a listen, perhaps ask to hear one with a similar odo reading if possible. If you had a broken valve it would make a lot more noise than that, if it ran at all, and piston slap will not be an issue on such a low mileage engine. As for the vibration you are feeling check if all the engine mounting bolts are tight to the correct torque, in fact check everything you can put a spanner or socket on, just to be sure. Edit. Another possibility for the vibration could be the throttles are out of balance.
