I rencetnly purchased a 10 and LOVE IT..!!.. Although i have one concern my local mechanic either answered and i don't believe him or he is correct.
THE PROBLEM: There is a whistling noise or rattling that is very loud when running about 3500 to anywhere around 9000 RPM's. On hard acceleration no noise. On slow cruising speed or low RPM's (under 3500)no noise. Only moderdate throttle do i get the noise and sorry to say, that's most of the time. I had a 2000 ZX-7R and the noise was there, but not as loud or as frequent in the previous scenario. I was just wondering if my mechanic was right when he called it the "Exhaust Valve" opening and closing? Is this normal? and if so, is it neccessary to have it?
I have heard from other ZX-10 owners that have permanently opened the valve to avoid this noise or removed that section form the exhaust when installing a pipe. Is this advisable? A solution to this issue is greatly needed. :?: :?:
Thanks for all who replies with an educated answer.
