Topic: Got a tic in the motor

[friedfish80]

On a short run down the expressway this morning i developed a tick in the motor. I was doing about 80 and i only ran about 6 miles to home. the tick fluctuates with the RPM of the motor. It sounds like a valve to me but i figured i would let the experts help me. enclosed is a video i had just taken so you have a better idea of what im talking about. Thanks everyone.

i had a little issue like that. I rode my bike hard one night, was a blast, but when I was riding home I got a bad ticking noise in #1. The next day I took off the intake tappet and sure enough, the rocker arm bolt was really loose. I'm glad it didn't fall right off.

Hopefully thats all it is! If not...
