Possible rear exhaust gasket leak.

I'd expect to make a sort of farting type noise, the exhaust on my campervan has split on a seam and makes this kind of farting noise.

Yes it can. Do the ball of rag trick I detailed earlier, & go from there.


Cheers.

This is annoying me. I cant pin point where exactly this noise is coming from and once the bike has warmed up after a couple of miles, if that, the noise is non-existent.

If possible, I would like to know what can cause a noticeable tapping noise when the bike is cold which then disappears once it has warmed up.
