klr ticking ?
Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2000 2:15 pm
Hello Listers,
I've noticed during my last couple of rides that my A14 is making a fairly
quiet, rapid ticking noise from somewhere beneath the gas tank. The ticking
becomes more rapid with more rpms. When idling I don't think it ticks much,
if any. It is most audible as the rpms increase, until the sound of the
engine drowns-out the ticking. Anyone have any idea what is causing this?
Could it have something to do with my valve adjustment? balancer chain
adjustment? Cam chain tensioner? (I really have no clue.) I think I'll take
it apart this evening or tomorrow to investigate.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
