I noticed a whopping type sound from the engine. Sorry that is the only way I can describe it.
I especially noticed it when I installed the Triad exhaust. It was like the sound was coming from the left exhaust port. After a few minutes it went away. So anyway I took out the Triad and put back the old exhaust, drove around and noticed the sound again. One person said it might be my alternator. Can this be true? |

It sounding like it was coming from one of the jugs. So happy when I found it was just a fraying belt. |
