Default first rstart sound problem/spam post

Herkese merhaba. İstanbulda yaşıyorum. Sorunuma burada bir çözüm bulamadık. Bu sorun, ilk çalıştırma sırasında duyulan anormal bir gürültüyle ilgilidir. Ancak, ilk çalıştırmada yalnızca motor soğukken duyulabilir. Bu ses, meatal sürtünme veya hava sesi gibidir. Bu sesi sadece ilk seferde sabah ve akşam duyabiliyorum. Bu sorun hakkında kafam çok karışık. Çünkü herkes farklı bir fikir söylüyor. Uzman görüşünüz bu nedenle benim için çok önemli. 2014 kırk sekiz / 20000 km. Lütfen videoyu izleyin. Cevaplar için şimdiden teşekkürler.

Hello to everyone. I live in Istanbul. We couldn't find a solution to my problem here. This problem is related to an abnormal noise heard during the first run. However, it can only be heard when the engine is cold at first start. This sound is like meatal friction or air sound. I can only hear this sound in the morning and evening for the first time. I am very confused about this problem. Because everyone says a different opinion. Your expert opinion is therefore very important to me. 2014 forty eight / 20000 km. Please watch the video. Thanks in advance for the answers.

The video tells us nothing, other than the engine started then shut off.

Is the sound heard at first start normal? this sound can be heard in the 1st second. but not heard in the second run. You can only hear the problem part in the video in the link

Trying to assess motor noises online w/ poor quality video/audio & like trying to ride your bike blindfolded on curvy roads. Do yourself a favor & take it to a cycle mechanic.

Thank you very much for your interest. what you wrote is very correct. but there were masters here who gave many different reasons for this problem. It is motorcycle services that provide these ideas. and I am confused. because some of the reasons I was told are scary .. I posted on this forum to find someone who faced the same problem. thanks again.

I have a vehicle inspection appointment for my motorcycle tomorrow. Exhaust change will be made today. because the original exhaust is required for inspection. We will also look at this sound problem in detail during the change. If we find an eper result, I will share it with you here.
