So I started the storm today for the first time this year - been too busy etc...
Anyway whilst it's been sitting around I've been doing a few mods - fettled forks, new rear shock, braided brake lines etc... and the swap to manual CCTs. Fired her up today (fired on the 3rd turn so well impressed) and I can hear a faint knocking sound. Difficult to hear over the zorsts but definately mechanical as it get faster as the revs go on - can't decide if it's something I've knackered whilst changing the bits or whether it was always like this and just needs a bit of tune up.
Doesn't sound gravely, can't feel anything untoward through the bars and it's not all that loud - As I say difficult to hear over the zorsts and they're not particularly loud as all the baffles are in at the moment.
Opinions please....

Re: rough running after manual cct change...
I thought clutch too, pull it in when ticking over and see if the noise is still there.
Happy ridin'

Re: rough running after manual cct change...
If it didn't do it before it'll be something to do with fitting the manuals.
Did you set the engine in the right place before undoing the standard ones?

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Re: rough running after manual cct change...
I followed the guide in the knowledge base. very good they were too, and the whole process was much quicker than I thought.
I can't remember any weird noises from before (apart from a whining noise which it's had since new). It may well be that I'm just being paranoid. I do need to check the valve clearances but I can't see it being that. I guess the sensible thing is to check the timing etc..... or take it for a burn and see if it goes bang - decision depends on the weather this weekend!
