Dreaded rattle
Hi guys
My trx has just started to make a really horrible rattling sound; I was belting down the motorway tonight when suddenly the power went and stalled; I coasted along for a bit then hit the button and it came back to life but now has a rattle about 3000 rpm but doesn't make the noise when parked or not under load, under load around 50mph in top and the rattle is there and it's definately down on power.
Any ideas before I take it to the bike shop?
Regards
Jim

I am only down the road in Ware and am happy to have a listen if it helps?
Mine has blown its crank this year so I know too well what that sounds like. Hope your problem is not this severe.
PM me if you want to meet up.
