I got a Honda cbr 125. got about 1 month ago. Tried to start it up this morning and was just getting a clang from the engine. Never happened before. It rides but i don't want to go on it because i might cause more damage or might hurt myself. Tried it again this afternoon and same problem. Any ideas ? Heres a video of it as well

Your piston arm might have come loose?

do you find the more revs you give it the faster the rattling gets ?

 

[dicey100]

Yeh. Well you can here it.

 

[AZZ3R]

How many miles has the bike done?

 

[dicey100]

9900.

Hmm, not alot then.

To me it sounds like either your Piston Arm is loose or an engine bolt has come loose and is rattling around.

if you don't feel like taking the piston out to check, i'd suggest you just pop to your local mechanic let them hear it in person.

Hmmm I can't be sure from that video, does it start-up normally, run normally, sound normal (apart from the rattle of course) etc?

But anyway here's some reassurance for you, if you want to hear what a genuinely serious engine problem sounds like watch this video of my old GPz305 knocking away :lol:

It doesnt sound like it normally does. And it runs i went about 20 feet on it.
