i took my vinson to dealer today to get my winch and while i was there i let them listen to the knocking noise coming from the engine. the dealer says its the clutches on the manual shift vinnys that make that noise. so im just going to ride it and not worry about it. they have heard it so if something happens its there problem. i have a 4 year warranty on it so that helps my feelings lol.

 

if it's under a load then it's the cam chain

 

it does it in neutral also when you give it just a little bit of throttle. what he told me about the cluthes makes sense to me.

 

oh i was thinking it was a manual..yeah the clutches make noise

 

it is a manual. theres clutches in a manual also.

 

i woulndt' think that in the manual though the clutch would make a sound...i know in the autos they will and do but i've never heard of that in a manual
