Munnsy738 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hello I have noticed a ticking /tapping noise while revving the bike when it's hot 85.c upwards It sounds like it's coming from the top of the engine, sounds bad while riding but while the bike runs at 70.c it usual riding temp there is no noise The bike starts fine while hot ( if I'm right that means the tappets ok ? ) I'm just a bit puzzled Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fro Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The sound in the first 5-6 seconds?Almost sounds like you've got a misfire on a cylinder. What's it like power-wise when it happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 that sounds like either the shims need looking at or the cam chain tensioner isnt auto adjusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munnsy738 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Power seems alright when it's Hot I haven't noticed much of a difference but I do tend to ride in high gears and lower revs when it gets 85'c trying to keep it cool and shims + cam chain was what I was worried about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
