GTRI can hear the exhaust more than the bike 😉
Sounds like few things you could check below
- Air box isn’t sitting on the carb properly (CV vacuum loss to maintain idle)
- Mixtures messed with and Pilots are clogged again. (it sounds like its hunting for fuel to maintain a stable idle)
- Intake Manifolds (more rare than the bike itself!) may have a split from the shop that may have stress fitted the parts instead of being gentle
- Please make sure they did not use stupid things like “silicone” to seal the inlets to the engine heads instead of using proper orings like we have on the shop.
- While the bike is running ==> Look at the ignition coils for sparks flying out of it. If yes = switch off and replace HT wire immediately replace the CAP , COIL, SPARK PLUG all three at once , if it is still using standard parts from Korea.
- If it has “IX Blue” plugs = Bin them and use CR8E or NGK Laser only.
- If it has NGK caps , check the HT wires so no sparks is coming out of the cap or coil or loose wiring. (screw HT wire slowly clockwise until it stops for a tight fit so it doesn’t vibrate out)
If it is “loud metalic” ticks , then
- Cam Tensioner is wanning, see this topic also below
https://hyoriders.club/forums/topic/how-to-check-if-you-have-updated-cam-tensioner-on-older-125250-twins/ - Valve Clearances (if it hasn’t been done in the last 5,000 miles) Service manual says “Check or Adjust” every 4k to keep the 8 valves happy. Its a lot of valves for a 125!
