    Engine noise, sounds like a sewing machine

    =) Yep really haven't had any issues until recently, well still haven't so far. Now this ticking got so loud it really sounds to me there is something wrong. I use Motul 5100 10w-40 and a Mobil M1 in my bike. It's not been ridden very hard but I definitely rev it up... At least used to until...

    Engine noise, sounds like a sewing machine

    Thanks Scott Just took the cam chain tensioner out. It's working very smoothly and looks perfectly fine. But wow, that was seriously but it back inside, felt like I needed another hand to keep the screw inside the tensioner in place. As for the tensioner, it is certainly not at its limit. It...

    Engine noise, sounds like a sewing machine

    Thanks for the input guys! I do not know if the valve check has ever been done, couldn't find anything saying it was. When I started driving today it seemed to have disappeared, but only for about a minute and then it started again... Do you guys know of any currently working picture guides...

    Engine noise, sounds like a sewing machine

    Hi guys I am close to reaching 100k on my well cared for fz6 =D However, I got a small problem, I feel like the engine is sounding weird, a bit like a rough sewing machine. The noise feels like it comes and goes. I have shown it to a mechanic twice, but both times, of course it wasn't very...
