Does it still make the same noise on high revs? If not it may be piston slapping the cylinder wall sound. You may want to check the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall.
No sadly...I have been rising it with the noise and it hasn't changed at all. Reluctant to strip the engine until it gets worse, which it may not. I suspect small end. Any ideas?
@@agproks It isn't hitting the head, that would be a huge issue that would end up with an engine seize. I've never heard of a piston hitting the head. It's a bearing of some kind. Engine still has all its power and rides well, just a rattle during tick over.
My 2006 Vespa 125 GT has just started this noise as of the weekend. Rather bad. Definitely sounds engine related to me. Alot of people will tell you its the Rollers or clutch which in our case I don't think it is. Would love to know the fix myself.
Carl johnston I really think it's the small end. I am hoping to take it to a shop and get some advice. I've tried a few forums but I've had no replies. Let me know if you find out.

@@Mark-qk2km did you took the cylinder head to check if the piston is hitting the head???

Did you ever find the culprit to this noise ? My lml has the exact same rattle , I’m also thinking small end bearing too
bit late....just seen this comment...but no...still has a rattle. How about you?
