It's a kinda whirling type noise. I thought it might be my speedo cable(again), so I reach down, and I can feel it vibrating a little. I loosen the nut, and the vibration goes away, but that's not the noise. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> I thought the bike was struggling a little, but....we had some 30-35mph winds going on, so I put it down to the wind. Then, it starts running a little rough...it's NEVER done that before. I hit the turn sig, and start movin to the right, to get off the interstate(road, not bike). I get into the next lane, and I'm thinkin I ain't gonna make it all the way over the 3 other lanes. I goose it hard, it's running like crap, then POOOOF...it takes off like a scalded ape! The noise is gone, and the wind ain't botherin it at all. Now I'm thinkin "What the heck?!?!?"I did get gas before starting home, so Imma thinkin I mighta went too long on Reserve this morning, and mayby got some poo-poo in one of the carbs? It was runnin fine this mornin on the way to werk.Ida know...it kinda skeered me...I was thinking the noise I was hearin was prolly the idler pulley for the timing belts, and I could just see that sucker locking up with me doin 75mph.... :doh: Ya'll think maybe it was just some crud in one of the carbs, or ya think I got somethin else goin on? It ran perfect the rest of the way home.... :beg:</blockquote>
