New Ticking Sound, HELP!!
That choke is no more than a cam to open the throttle plates some.
If this were my bke I would use a 12' long extention placed near the cam chains and listen. That would be near the plugs as well. When the chains don't adjust as they should they eat the metal cases the plugs are in, from the back side. You really want to know the chains are not eatting these parts and creating shiney oil paint. I think Cadd added the cam guide extenders on his bike too, so am not sure why he didn't say more.

The price we pay for the technology. Clicking solenoids, chokes that aren't chokes, chains that stretch and make noise then go away. It's mind boggling.

Had to leave her at the Hospital, they are booked and will take a week or 2 before they can operate. I will let you guys no when I no. I know I will catch some slack, but I changed the oil before I left for Daytona, switched to the Rotella Syn, and thats when I started hearing the noise. Hope it's not related to the oil, changed it back to Lucas motorcycle oil when I returned from Daytona.

What was the outcome of this? I switched from a 3/4 helmet to 1/2 helmet yesterday and now I notice the ticking noise. Mine really sounds just like lifters in a chevy V8 when the oil is low.

Odd my 1600 had the ISC out of there, like gone and boxed, and my bike starts with a bang, with no choke knob and whjile it idles a little low I can roll up some throttle, while backing from the barn, but I can't find reverse, so I have to duck walk it. I don't hear lifters. I don't hear the chain, and i sure don't hear whats in a box in the cellar...
On the other hand I am 75% deaf.... Huh What?

Tells you to stay away from a Chevy v8. They never was good about holding their oil, kinda like some guys who can't hold their liquor. ;)

I posted a while back about engine noise due to syn. oil. can't run it in my bike. I've tried it twice, both times it made a valve or lifter rattle like crazy. Switched to Spectro 10/40 dino oil it made a big difference in noise. I Have read several threads on different forums and what I've found out is these motors are all different, some folk's swear by syn. oil others like myself can't run it. I also took my scooter to the dealer and basicly did'nt get to ride for a week. End result, normal.I ride an 07 and I have normal engine noise, if you sit on top of your car engine you'll hear some noise. but the bottom line for me is I cannot run syn. oil It makes my engine rattle like crazy. even though there is no reason why it should. So if dino. is what it wants dino. is what it will get, problem solved.

I forgot to mention it's going to be a nice day here I'm headed up through Cherokee across Newfound Gap to Gatlingburg, about a hour a half ride from here. Probably come back across Wears Valley to the Foothills Parkway, then across 129 back home. It'll be about a four hour ride.
