Reply With QuoteI beat the holy hell out of my 03 XB9R from 5000 to 16,000 miles and never had any engine problems. Many of those miles was hard riding and wheelies.
I have an 03 XB9r with 10,000 miles I have only put 900 on it myself. I bought it from a 60 yr old guy that did all the break in and documented everything. But latley I have a knock. Is there a weak point in the 900's?
Well lately I have been running my bike pretty hard.
I went to the drag strip last Friday, and have been doing the whole wheelie thing latley. I only reve the motor to 3500 when I lift the front and at most hit 6000 rpm and not for more than a couple seconds when lifting it 2nd.
My question is, Is the motor that weak that you cant run it hard at all without doing the damage? I run full sythetic oil and it is changed out every 1500-2000 miles. And I just changed it less than 400 miles ago. I dont feel I have been running it into the dirt but is the 900 that weak?

I guess I will have to strip off the bull**** and ride it without a helmet so I can hear it really good to hear where the noise is coming from exactly.
Other wise I will just drive it into the grownd. No i will bring it somewhere first to cut down on repair costs but I would like to fix it myself if itsnt something internal, but I am sure it is.
