    F6B engine knocking noise when braking/pushing on suspension?

    https://youtu.be/G265AGIHQa0

    Does this sound like a major engine problem or could it potentially just be the brake system or suspension?

    To me sounds like something rubbing against plastic, I didn't notice any engine change in the video

    What trouble shooting ideas did you get from the other internet groups. Did you check the radiator fans as suggested on the other forum’s?

    I'm not a part of other f6b forums, which forums and threads do you suggest looking at?

    I would remove all the lower covers and do the same test again.

    Sounds like a fan or pulley rubbing on something. Agree that the front cover removal will tell the story. Did not hear engine issues.

    Are the cooling fans on when this is happening?

    There are no exposed pulleys/belts, etc on our bikes. Even the alternator is gear drive.
