    Fz6 ticking noise

    Hello This sound annoys me. Valve clearance is good, timing chain and tensioner are good. The cylinder head was replaced with a used one because we thought it was the problem. Clutch, spark plugs replaced. The clicking speed increases in proportion to the increase in speed. What could be the...

    First gear winding noise - Normal?

    I have noticed that this bike has a winding noise on the first gear. I noticed this when clutching in and idling/rolling down my neighborhood. If I pop it into another gear or neutral, the sound stops. It is definitely a winding noise, like I can hear the gears winding down in speed. I...
