99 F650 horrible noises
Hello,
I am currently travelling with a friend around Mexico and central America. I have been on the road for about 3 months now on a 99 BMW F650 and have done about 10,000 miles. I recently serviced the bike, about 3,000 miles back. I am now in the resort of Playa del Carmen, in the Yucatan region.
The problem I am having is: as I pull away from first or open the throttle from low revs in other gears, a loud rattling sound emerges from the bike. At higher revs and at cruising speed there is no noticeable noise. I thought perhaps the chain was rattling but I have checked this and it seems fine. I am now unsure whether to continue riding as I dont wish to break down in the middle of nowhere! Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks for any suggestions.
