    You see how the fender flares are broken on the back? Might as well scrap the hole machine. haha only kidding! Nice machine looks clean. Why does it sound so weird though? Do the valves need adjusting or is that just how a 200es sounds?

    ahahaha I have other fender flares i just can't be bothered installing the yet. I recently installed a new piston, rings and a timing chain, that is probably the reason for its sound?

    Not to sure, I think you should check and see if those valves need adjusting. That's pretty loud lol. Wait for some other guys to comment who might know the issue. maybe i'm wrong. Sense you redid the top end you know to adjust the valves I assume? Takes 2 seconds to pop that valve cover off and check with your fingers if ones loose. Odds are if ones loose the other probably is to. Like I said thought maybe i'm wrong 100%.

    Yeh maybe, I also forgot to tell you that it could be the exhaust because I cut the pipe that is meant to be at the very end of because it was a bit rusty, that changed the sound a fair bit aswell. It could just be the quality of my phone mic hahaha.

    I know when I cut my exhaust it made it a bit louder. It just sounds like there's a tick up front but then again my galaxy did the same thing lol

    Nice trike. What happened to the front suspension?...looks like it's been modified. Also you should get a new bulb for the neutral switch (they're only a couple bucks). The fine details make all the difference! ha ha

    All 200's have a ticking/clanking like an old fashioned sewing machine, but that one is loud enough to make me concerned. I definitely think you better check your timing chain tension and your valve adjustments.
