General topics » R 1250 R engine noise

Hi I know my bike is an R1250R but hopefully someone can help.When accelerating through the gears Iam getting a quite harsh mechanical noise it sounds like its coming from the left hand side.I have spoken to a GS rider who was experiencing the same and after some investigation he was told it was OK and the source of the noise was from a decompression valve.Has anyone on here experienced this.If not I think it will be trip back to dealer once lock down is over.Cheers Steve

I have a friend with a 19 plate R1250GS who reports exactly the same condition and has been given exactly the same diagnosis. I think he has about 12 k on the clock.

He has been told it is nothing to worry about.

While not "harsh" , my left pot is noticeably louder mechanically than the right.
My dealer says it is quite normal, and not to worry.

Cheers

Guys Thanks for the reassurance think I may still visit dealers so at least it is logged with them incase anything happens later
