engine whine and smells hot?

(1/2) > >>

when I went for the MOT the other week I noticed an annoying whine from the lump, also it seems very hot too. first time I have ridden it by the way, any ideas? was hoping to go to the manx in a few weeks too :-\

UK Pete:
That dont sound good possibly some metal to metal contact, have a look at the oil and see what condition thats in

59viperman:
totally clear, as if it was put in this morning. timing?

UK Pete:
Running hot could be timing or mixture out but whinning as well??, have you just bought the bike?

bought a year ago and only in the last couple of months I have started playing with it. it has new oil filter air filter plugs , all the usual stuff. took it for the mot all excited but was really disappointed at the performance, it was reluctant to go over 50. I am wondering has it been rebuilt and needs run in. it looks as though the engine is painted and all the bits on it are new. I just don't know , I don't want to get half way to the ferry and it shit itself. cant fathom it. really need some ideas  :-\
