There is a slight tick or tapping noise, which I thought was the timing chain, but now I'm not so sure. The bike sounds great at first, but when it's fully warmed up I can hear an audible tick/tapping noise only when I'm in gear taking off from a stop. Also, when I rev the bike in neutral there is no noise, everything sounds normal.
Here is a list of things that I have done and parts that I've replaced so far.
- Removed and cleaned auto tensioner. (didn't help)
- Replaced auto tensioner with an APE manual tensioner. (didn't help)
- I adjusted the all valves on the looser side per the Suzuki manual. (0.005in)
- While adjusting the valves, I checked the timing and everything looks good. I also installed the APE's manual tensioner while the valve cover was off to make sure the chain wasn't overly loose or tight.
- New d8ea spark plugs and coils
- New clutch
- Ricks r/r
- Ricks stator
- Delkevic full exhaust
I've uploaded a video to youtube so you guys can hear the noise. Hopefully, someone will know what it is and point me in the right direction.
