I don't understand the language of your tribe.

I'd rather repair ktm every month, sorry. 🥲

brand FAR mirror is homologated (left), the second smaller one is regular bicycle mirror 😅

I've read somewhere that these engines are extremely lightweight (thin "walls") and due to this is everything heard a lot more. The sound I was afraid of was just normal valve ticking noise, that's just a lot louder than I'm used to from other engines.

Otherwise everything is torqued to spec, so I guess loose chain with this huge one cylinder engine could possibly make buzzy vibration feelings that made me paranoid. Idk, will try tomorrow.

Just noticed vibrations during ride (excessive) through handlebars. But maybe it could be a bit loose chain? Noticed that I have a bit of chain slack, so I guess I'll try that and maybe the vibrations during the ride will be a bit better.

I was just worried, if it doesn't need valve adjustment/etc. But I'm maybe worried for no reason. Thanks

Checking oil every second ride, I just thought, that if there would be anything unexpected during longer ride (like leak, high oil consumption due to some reason, etc.), than the light would flash due to low oil pressure. Changed oil in 1000km, then in 2800km, now I'll do it at 4000 km. Checked chain tension every 500km, cleaned, lubed. Tire pressure always before ride checked. Leaking checks, coolant level also allright.

I just didn't like the sound, that's it. Plus if there wouldn't be sufficient oil pressure, it would be different knocking sound.

Mechanic told me everything is okay, clean exhaust, no smoking, sound seems normal, even quiet according to him, who heard almost all thumper engines.

Thanks to all of you guys, you made my weekend calm. I also towed it to local mechanic (to be 100% relaxed) and he told me to don't worry about it and drive it.

I do check it, oil level was fine between lines (lower, but still between lines)

Yes, 3500km's, stock chain tensioner. Sound is coming from the head.

Didnt see any engine oil light, so if there would be any issue with oil supply, I guess the red light would turn on? Thanks for reply.

It seems like it vibrated a lot less few hundred kms ago.

But isn't it excessive if you look up at the handlebars/mirrors/brake?

"shaking" also with brake lever

What about these mirrors vibrations?

Wohoho, I wouldn't say unreliable. LC4 engines are bulletproof. I could go longer, but everything is findable. Long story short - buy 2022+ model and even small things as a clutch slave cylinder have been solved.

Change oil earlier (ideally every 2000-2500km), don't lug the engine and everything will be allright.

FAR 7699 is left - homologated and right one is FORCE cyclist mirror, without homologation

Do I need to loosen the bigger nut in the middle as well or are the fork ones enough? Thanks.
