ZXR noise out
Posted: Sat Dec 26, 2015 1:23 pm
Hey guys, I am Bart(21) from the Netherlands and I recently purchased a ZXR400 '00 second hand, I did maintenance of the motorcycle (all fluids etc) at a dealership and they found the head gasket was sweating a little bit. But repairing this would set me back to much money so decided to not do anything about it.
When I started riding it I was leaking coolant frequently, and the bike was getting hot a lot.
Few days of riding pasted (1000k's) and now it is making this noise, it started when I came off the highway and downshifted from 6th to second gear.
Anyway I don't really know what to think of this if I have to take the engine out to check if what it is, or if it is an easy fix because sometimes the sound is not there for a few minutes of riding and then all of the sudden it kicks in. It does have power still btw.

Anyway, hope someone recognizes the sound and or the problem and can help me out,
Have a nice Christmas everyone and a happy new year!
Cheers Bart
