nicomallourides Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Hi everyone. I own an mt07 and do the oil change and general mileage care often. I bought it 2 months ago and have done about 250 miles on this bike. I am selling the bike but there is a sound coming from the headers by the block and I don't want to sell someone a bike that's got problems. First, it was coming from the exhaust like a little rattle and now its at the front of the block. Yamaha is closed due to lockdown so can anyone help? the bike is at 32k miles and priced very low at 2650 so I'm not sure what I should tell the guy asking as it can be something small or big. Cheer- I listened to it again and its definitely coming from around the middle of the whole exhaust pipe. sounds like there's something metal inside rattling around with the exhaust, or a loose nut or something .

Stu Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Hi and welcome Can you get a video of the sound? Quote
Tango Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Welcome to TMBF mate.Does it happen all the time or just when the bike is hot or cold? Quote
nicomallourides Posted November 10, 2020 Author Posted November 10, 2020 Thank you for the quick replies! It happens all the time whenever the engine is on. Here is a video guys. Oh I can't add the video tried converting from mov to mp4 but still says ' invalid file extension' Quote
Tiggie Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Easiest way is to upload the video to youtube and then share the link here Quote

Guest Richzx6r Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 That sounds like it's a baffle plate come loose maybe that's rattling around in there Quote

nicomallourides Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 Hi and welcome Can you get a video of the sound? yup no problem Quote
fastbob Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Sounds sweet as a nut to me but I've got a Harley and an ER5 so everything sounds better . I saw an FJR 1300 go past last night and I found it hard to believe that it actually had an internal combustion engine . Quote
