    Whats up with this tapping sound???

    it has now stopped but it sounded like it was ready to throw a rod,but maybe with alot of praying last night before bed it was healed because today it was gone!!!!

    we just had a tune up and carbs cleaned,had it back about a week rode it just a couple times then the clutch cable snapped had to order a new one put it on and all of a sudden this loud tapping/knocking....thought forsure she was done but today started it and it did tap but after about mile it was gone,Bike ran fine even with the tap no loss of power.

    But anyway here is a link to my you tube account if anybody would care to take a listen if you have any ideas what it could have been let me know Thanks again everybody

    Sounds like you were dropping a cylinder. Check the spark plugs and the caps.

      Could it be too much end play in the cams?

        Check the cam chain tensioner is correctly adjusted. I don't think it's excessive cam endfloat as the noise usually disappears above 2000 rpm when that's the cause, and with a far louder knock.
        Also could be a loose tappet (too much valve clearance on the 4 valve engines). The rhythm of your noise increases with the rpm.
