I am new to riding and even newer to 2strokes I have a kdx hybrid 05 220 motor
I just had the cylender replated and new piston and rings put in what I am wandering is when I climb a hill or use highgears. The top end sounds like card flapping against bike spokes has anyone else noticed that type of noiseand is it normal

Sounds like you are talking about the KIPS rattle and, yes, that is normal.

So if the reeds are making that noise are they supposed to they are clean no cracks or mornin and are flatt against the surface like they are supposed to be

If it's the reeds they are just fluttering, I don't think it indicates a problem

What kind of reeds are you running?

Ok I talked to theguy I bought it from he said he never experienced any noise like that just wanted more opinions on it hoping im just being paranoid cause I blew it up once already ....lol

Nice bike!

You said you hear the noise when climbing a hill or using higher gears. I know the 220's have a lot of low end. So are the revs up in those circumstances or are you lugging the bike when you hear it?

If the revs are up, I wouldn't think you'd be able to hear the reeds over the noise of the engine.

I got the impression it was lugging, that's when reeds will flutter

i expect it`s just the chain slapping on the slide guide?

05hybridchick923 · Post by **05hybridchick923** » 02:14 pm Apr 27 2011

I thought it was chain at first to but its not
and by lugging do you mean being a gear to high?
