This topic has got me interested...
I get a 'ticking/rattling' while setting off and engine is under load. If you ride it like an old man then you can't hear it. Could this be the clutch as well?

Careful not to get confused with the slight rattle that is always there. You hear it more with the clutch out, but when you pull the lever in it's not so bad. They all do this. Tony also has issues with the biting point which is a bit of a giveaway

Thanks Carl
On tick over the engine is very quiet, it only happens when you open the throttle under load but noise goes as the revs rise. Could this be 'engine knock' or pinkin (or what ever its called lol) ?

[VTRDark]

It could be engine pinking/pinging your hearing considering your other issue with the carbs. You may be running a little lean. Or ignition timing (not to be confused with cam timing) is too far advanced which the TPS contributes too especially at lower revs. You would also get this noise if your changing gear to soon so lugging the engine a bit.

Ain't done anything with it yet to be honest, got my fixed sorted, rode that for a month and had my spinal op, storms on stands in back of garage going to tear down entire bike got a few things planned over winter.

tony, how did the Op go, good I hope, take some advice please, remember what you have had done, you will feel better but DO NOT DO TOO MUCH, if you do you will frik it again and they won't touch it. Nice to see you back on here again.
