Hi all,
I've recently passed my bike test and purchased a 2007 fz6 s2 with 11k miles on the clock in black. I absolutely love the bike and I'm very happy with my choice, I'm just taking it steady to start off with. It's a lot faster than the bike I learnt on!
Here's a pic of the bike:
I do have one question though, as the weather was nice this weekend I took it out for my first few solo rides (bar the day I picked it up) and had a great time on it. When I got back on Saturday however I noticed a slight tick that wasn't there when the engine was cold. I've recorded a few videos and wondered if you guys could tell me if my engine sounds normal? I've read that ticking can be a result of the cct but the videos I've watched sound horiffic compared to mine. I've also watched a few videos of an fz6 running normally and it sounds similar to mine. I suppose this is just for peace of mind because if I do have something to worry about I can get it done under warranty.
