Ok so a frind of mine got a 99 Honda Superhawk home last night, its like a 996 and a twin. So he started it up and it sounded pretty weird and neither of us is too familiar with the sounds a twin should make. At any rate, this high pitched sound, almost like a smurf getting stepped on, occurs with every time the pistons fire?
I was wondering if it might be starving for air? Is that like a whistling sound from the intake system? Any ideas? Should a 1 liter twin sound funny like that? At idle speeds its kind of annoying, not like that pleasant whining from my 600 when she's revving around 12k rpm's.
I think it is probably ok, since he ripped me a new asshole when we lined it up side by side with my RF. It just seemed odd to be that loud when we were sitting there at idle.
