'workshop'? Is that next service you mean....darkember wrote:Wait for the next workshop & get them done then. I need to get mine done as well, plus you know the people who are working on the bikes know what they are talking about as well
A slight tick will do no harm untill then.

Re: Engine light tick
Okay going back a bit I thought maybe the manual cct's were needing adjustment. Turns out they are fine How do you know they are fine? As manual CCts are the easiest to adjust compared to doing valve clearances why not have a tinker before delving deeper. Well, i only have the mechanics say so on ...

Hi folks, Just got my storm back from garage where i booked it in due to hearing a light ticking noise from the front part of the engine. I thought maybe the manual cct's were needing adjustment. Turns out they are fine and that it is in fact that the valves/tappets (whatever you call them) are ...

Re: New bike arriving tomorrow....Its arrived....
No, Im afraid i dont know, i have a fairly documented history of the bike, including the valve check service, but no mention of any cct work. I would guess that is not gone in the past, as i seem to have a lot of reciepts for things the bike has had, and im sure there would have been one for that ...

Re: New bike arriving tomorrow....Its arrived....
Possibly! what mileage has the bike done. Manuals would need adjusting approximately every 30,000.

Re: New bike arriving tomorrow....Its arrived....
Are all the exhaust seals and gaskets okay? - sometimes if the front header copper gasket leaks it can make an odd noise As cybercarl suggests let everything warm up, and have a good listen and if necessary use a screwdriver to your ear to locate and narrow down any noises.[/quote] Thanks guys, i'll ...

Re: New bike arriving tomorrow....Its arrived....
Il put the standard one on for now...would eventually like the moriwaki pan.
But i like a bit of engine on show.
Think theres a light ticking from front end..would this mean cct needs adjusting?? The bike has manual adjusters??
