Hey guys, really sorry for another thread about the exact same issue, but I've read through all the ones currently on the forum and none of them seem to be exactly about what I'm experiencing.
When my 2004 FZ6 is at idle, there's a ticking noise the speed of about 3-4 times a second. When I rev the bike up (in or out of any gear) it gets faster in time with the revs. At 3 thousand revs, it get's quite loud, all the way through to about 5.5 thousand when it gets quieter again, yet still persistent. At this point, it gets hard to hear over the engine noise.
If it only happened between 3 and 5 thousand, I'd just put it down to the normal injector noise that I've heard of, but the fact that it happens throughout the rev range concerns me.
This morning, I noticed that when the bike was cold for the first few minutes, it wasn't ticking at idle, not sure if this will help with diagnosis.
The bike has almost 29000 miles on it and has NOT had a valve adjustment done.
I'm thinking that it's either Valves, Cam Chain, or normal noise that I'm worrying about over nothing.
Thanks very much for reading this far, I'm eagerly awaiting any responses, thanks all!
