Did you make sure the exhaust header nuts/bolts have enough torque on them? Don't remember exactly but it was over 10 or 12 ft lbs to seal that pipe up to the engine
Might have a leaky exhaust header gasket? Easy and cheap to fix that, get a Copper Crush Gasket from Honda Or you might have the valves set on the wrong 'TDC' ?

No, it's there cold or hot. I was hoping that once it warmed up the piston would expand and quite down, but it doesn't.

Can you host it anywhere else but photobucket? My browser is choking on the sheer amount of ads and trackers that page tries to serve. Youtube would work.
My motor on my TT250 has a very distinct rattle. I'm told it's fine, it doesn't seem to bother it at all. |

It's hard to tell from the video. Almost sounds like an exhaust leak. If you were close by I could check it out.

It's definitely not normal. The thing sounds like there's a bucket of bolts in the cylinder. I sent the seller a lengthy email about the issue. Let's see if I get blown off with these folks... if so, they will lose. |

Wish there was something I could do to help you. Can't remember what happened with your first hawk but I hope they don't try to pull anything. Almost all these sites offer a "12 month engine warranty".

I purchased an extended 12 month warranty, but that's only as good as the company backing it. I guess we'll find out Just how good. |
