Right, my bike is ill. It’s been running absolutely fine until this past week. Revs sound loads more raspy and the engine sounds proper rattley on the right hand side.
The whole front of the engine is oily so I thought maybe it had a leak and it’s running low on oil but the sight glass says the level is fine albeit very black oil.
Can’t see how it would be fine one day and not the very next day though. I’ll get the oil changed but I suspect something else wrong. Any ideas? Bike feels fine to ride, just sounds terrible
