    I was bored so i called my buddy up and ask him to pull out his runner and lets go riding.Ever since we got back i am hearing this extra little rattle while the bike is idling .Can someone tell me what could it possibly be.I have had it as a 183 for about 3 months now and now long highways like in the UK.

    That's a bit vague for anyone to give you a decent answer.

    It could be anything. A bearing gone somewhere, just your rollers rattling about, something slightly loosened, etc.

    Well guys , i pulled out the cylinder and the piston today and both of them are perfectly fine ,but when i checked the gudgeon pin, i could feel an indentation where the bearing sits on it so i figure i need a new small end bearing and a new gudgeon pin
