this just started after a beat session it still does this when its hot but it is not as loud what could this be???? as soon to be blown motor????

 

mine ticks a lil but...been doin that for 2300 miles now....

 

hey you know where methuen is we should meet up and ride

 

no idea...i really dont ride the street ne more, but if u wanna come rock our spot wit us that would be cool. or i u got a spot out there maybe i can get out there

 

maybe exhaust leak...

 

my ZX7R ticks sometimes when i start it up..after 1000 wheelies haha but for some reason the ticking stops when i pull my front brake in? i dunno but i hasnt gotten worse over the months so i just deal with it

 

My '01 Gixxer ticks like a bitch for about 10 seconds after the first start of the day. Just the engine waking up bro...bike runs like a champ.

 

valve clearence might need to be adjusted or you might need a new chain tensioner, either way its pretty easy and cheap...

 

it was a crank bearing its on my garage floor now

 

that's what i was going to say but didn't want to be the bearer of bad news

 

You're about 45 min away. I just built a hotel in Auburn.

 

Bring that shiat to Manch and ride with us.

 

I had the same ticking nosie in my 99 R6 I brought it to yamaha and they told me it was the valves and that they didnt need adj. its just how most of them run. Hopefully Im not about rdy to drop a bearing

 

Mine started to do that when I started to wheelie it and run the revs real high. The I cartwheeled it down the road.... so I'm not so much worried about the ticking as I am the "makin that **** ridable again" part. Good luck... perhaps I will check mine anyway.. hell it's already in pieces, how convenient!

 

how far is manch form methuen ??????

 

Sounds like an exhaust leak to me.

Worth a check-out.

 

50 mins... max!

Should come up and ride a little with us...

 

rod bearings are fun

 

hey i am new on here i am about to stunt my 05 r6 this season so i did the kleen air mod so my airbox dont fill up with oil but when i completed it i started the bike and theres a disgusting ticking coming from the top end i riped the rad out and pulled the top cover off the motor and all my valvees are working perfect timing chain is tight the bike sat for about 3 weeks before i started it to hear this noise any idea what is wrong it is not smoking not mising at all on the throtle i was thinkin maybee valve guides? i am at a loss

 

Valve Height Adjustment. Its a pain in the *** if you dont know what your doing. I had my **** put back together and taken a part 3 times before I got it right. and now its doing it again Inexpensive to fix if that is what it is though.
