750 brute force knocking

I hope for your case its not the same thing that happened to mine when it sounded like that.

The guys here are great and should be able to help you trouble shoot your noise it could be the clutch itself or the bottom end like mine was, just hope for the clutch to be the culpret its a MUCH cheaper fix

What year is your brute chine?
How long have you owned it?
Did the noise just start or have you been hearing it for awhile?
Does it do it in gear or neutral....or both?
Have you slipped the belt recently?
Has it every been sunk in water?

The clutches are noisy on these Vtwins even when there new but you may have something else going on. Give us a little more info on what you got and what its doing.

I've heard this noise twice on mine before, it was crank bearings both times. The second time i got smart and drained my oil and removed the filter to check for those little brass filings in the oil (the ones that come from the bearings when there all ground up). This is something i would definitely check first, its cheap and it'll tell you the one thing that you really don't want to know. Hope its something different for your sake.

.......:thinking:.....Where did he go???? ....We just wanna help:haha:

I think mine is starting to knock too! Crap

I need to go ahead and open my shop dont I

haha it started that crap on the last day of the ride. i had let the oil get low from wheels in the air. when i drained the oil it was sludge. not water but oil sludge.
i flushed it out with diesel and then flushed oil thru 2 more times.
final fill was 20-50 mobile 1 vtwin with some lucas additive. it's barely quiter.

If I were you I would go ahead and get bearings for it ,as the slop gets worse brass shavings will begin to wear everything else in the motor

yep. i thought of that. stop running it now.
but then i said screw it.
i'll end up with new pistons, cam, oil pump to be on safe side, chains, crank, bearings seals and gaskets.

Yeah 2shoes is starting to make a noise as well. He let his run low of oil too. I checked the oil for him before the MIMB ride and it did not even touch the stick

Not sure how long he run it like this. Its not making a lot of noise but when you compare it side by side with mine you can hear it. Also has a slight hint of smoke every now and then.

Why are these things so hard on bearings? Is there anything you can do to help prevent this problem?

One prob. is fuel leakdown always turn the fuel off when you park it

I didnt even know it had a fuel shutoff to be honest.

what about if its fuel injected?

I would just to be safe

Ok anything else? Ive never shut my fuel off before bu t now will make sure to do so but is there anything else to do to make sure this doesnt happen again anytime soon

Always keep a check on the oil. And keep it changed pretty regularly

My bike has no fuel shut of.....or at least i ain't seen one :thinking:
