Engine ticking.

[bobbler]

Can anyone help either put my mind at ease or help advise what this noise is?



I seem to hear it more when the engine is warm but I can't seem to work out where it's coming from.

Exhuast leak? somewhere either at the manifold header (copper crush gasket) or a header link pipe (graphite seal).

Like Wicky just mentioned, I also recon it's the exhaust blowing

I also agree it does sound like it could be the exhaust blowing. One of the joints that sometimes gets over looked is the one in between the swingarm,

Thanks folks. I'll take it to work tomorrow and check it over when it's warm. I was hoping it would be something like exhaust blow but had started wondering if it was the cct as I haven't got the mcct to replace them yet.

And for clamps fully stainless Mikalor W4 Supra, and some hi-temp silicone with new graphite seals (make sure you clean out old ones). VTR's auto CCTs operate binarily - either they work or they don't. The death rattle they make will tell you to turn the bike off... Add it to your to-do list as a priority before they bite you in the b u m.
