Checked the kick start lever, it's not rubbing or hitting anything. It's still making a kinda buzzing/vibration sound when riding and accelerating. I cannot get it to make the noise while idling and revving. It sounds like it's coming from the front end or gas tank area.
Anybody else's making a similar noise? |

There are nearly a million variables that could cause a noise, even with the same model. If I were you, I'd start looking for things that are loose/rubbing/close to contacting. Especially without a video, there's nothing we can really tell you. Did you have the noise before disassembling the bike for the valve clearance? If not, how much did you disassemble? Look at that first.

I heard the noise since the first time I rode it. When I did the valves, I removed the right side plastics. I've already checked those. I'll put it on the stand and spin the wheels and check things out. Like I said, it only does it when in motion. Not idling or revving while standing still.
Not overly concerned with it, just checking. |

It seems to run fine. Still makes a kinda weird light buzzing sound when riding and changing gears. It may be the fuel pump or some other electronic device since I can't get it to do it when idling and revving. Or it might just need to break in more. And if feels peppier after changing the valves (which I now need to set again).[/QUOTE]
My Expect also had the mysterious buzzing sound. Finally figured out what it was, on mine anyway. Not sure what you call it, but the straw thingy inside the gas tank was vibrating against the inside wall of the tank. I took a long screw driver, reached it into the tank through the gas cap, and ever so slighty bent the tube away from the tank wall. No more buzzing for me. Hope this helps in your case Bro! |

Just realized you figured yours out. I should have read your last post!

I kinda expected them to be tight as I am getting what sounds like marbles on hard acceleration, assuming it was detonation due to exhaust valve but no luck. May try a cooler plug and see what happens. TR

Good idea with the cutting boards. I used some leftover fiberglass for mine:
