My '99 LT (65k miles) suddenly sounds like a Diesel. I also hear a distinct buzzing tune that plays along with the engine up until 3-4k rpm or so.
Info from the site points to a leaking exhaust, but I cannot find the leak visually. It does not appear to be coming from the weld behind the passenger footpeg. There doesn't SEEM to be any soot around any of the head flanges, but it's hard to tell. I can look at them with the bike running, and nothing is obvious. No loose headers. I don't notice any change in performance, just the increase in engine noise and the buzz.
I'll be able to pull the plastic for a better look later in the week, but is there anything else that might cause this? I recently changed the oil. No leaks or drips. And should I park the bike? I have a 300 mile trip ahead of me and I would much prefer to ride.
Thanks!
