Nick,
as per your request and finally I found out how to upload in you tube. The following link will let you hear the noise from my ST4 at idle. Please note the little part missing where the lever (clutch) rests.
Your comments will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Andre

Andre -
If the extra noise is only there when the bike is in neutral, it's got to be something to do with the clutch or transmission. However, if there's no clutch slip that wouldn't explain the loss of power, and I don't see how the loss of the screw adjuster at the master cylinder end could cause the bike to idle more noisily when the bike's in neutral. Are you sure there is not more noise when in gear as well as in neutral? If so, it could be that when the bike went down the exhaust touched and pushed the header pipe out of line where it goes into the cylinder. If the seal between the pipe and the cylinder is broken the bike will sound noisier, and it will have an effect on the power. If the exhausts are set up the same as they are on my ST4, I suspect that going down on one side could affect either or both header pipes, so it would be worth checking both seals. If you can get close to the exhausts where they enter the cylinder it should be fairly obvious if either of them is blowing.
Good luck, please let us know how you get on
Cheers - Nick
See the face, admire the bikes, yawn at the holiday snaps...

Hello everyone,
I really would need some help with a problem with my bike.
Last week I dropped it on the left hand side. The only damage was to the clutch lever that was a bit crooked. I fixed that with a bit of heat and caution.
The problem that I have been having since is that time every time the transmission is in neutral the overall noise of the motor is a lot louder.
I have noticed at the end of the clutch lever (same as the brake lever) a small rectangular plastic piece held together with two small gold screws. It seem that with the brake there is a small part on this piece where the lever seems to rest when not in use. Well, for the clutch lever this part (1 inch wide to 1 1/2 inch long) is gone. Could it be what is causing this rough and noisy idling, I mean the loss of this small part. Also, the bike does not seem to have as much power as before like it is struggling in low to medium rpm
Thanks you so much for your help
Andre
