hi all
im new to this site and new to bikes. ive been working on cars since i was 6 and know them back to front but bikes are a completely different ball game. a couple of months ago i purchased a cbr 250rr as my first bike. the bike was running really good and had no issues with it so i decided to put a tyga kit on it as the fairing kit on it was falling apart. a couple of weeks after putting the kit on the bike started playing up (i dont think it is related but feel like the tyga kit was a curse).
The first problem started with it not revving past 8k rpm. the bike just stopped taking power and felt like it was revving out on 8k on every gear. but from idle to 8000rpm the bike was fine
from day one the bike was idling on 2k and i was told that alot of these bikes do that and its not too much of an issue. so i left it at that but now it plays up every now and then where it will just up to 4000rpm on idle and a good rev would sometimes bring it back down to 2000
a week or so later a whistling sound started to appear and got louder the more throttle i used (sounds like when you put a pod filter on a car) or a hose could have come loose??. it makes that sound in gear and in neutral, cold or hot and in every gear.
theres also a knocking sound coming from the engine and the exhaust sounds really bad now sounds like it is coming from the RHS of the bike near where the oil dip stick is but cant be 100% sure.
and to make matters even worse you can feel an obvious vibration when riding that never used to be there before.
The front of the bike is alot stiffer now as well for some reason
I have no idea if any or all of these issues are related or not but any help you guys can give me would be greatly appriciated
Thanks
