I just got my sparkplugs replaced and immediately noticed a lot of "engine buzz" in my headset....any solutions?
The plugs were replaced by an experienced mechanic. (needles to say, not me!!)
Hey JST...,
If it's a "spark tick" noise I second Red's check list...
Wrong plugs?
Loose plug cap?
Cracked plug?
Broken wire?
Your term "engine buzz" could also be something like alternator noise,
or a combination of spark and alternator.
The spark "tick" is usually pretty obvious at low RPMs.
If it's not just spark tick,
I would start looking for a loose or dirty ground point
along with checking Red's list.
Hey Oldsman,
When you said...
Only 28K in 5 years. The bike spent many months in storage at times.
I immediately thought... Dirty/corroded or loose connections.
That includes ground lugs as well as all the various connectors
that can get corroded over the years.
Sometimes just re-seating some connectors, and re-tightening ground lugs, will cure problems like that.
Of course, the big headache is getting to those connectors to re-seat them. :roll: :lol:
