Hi everyone,
Over several past weeks I'm doubting my ears in terms of engine noise.
Firstly, the bike has done 45k km but has no problems idling, going or stopping.
However, it has annoying vibrations going through most of RPM range, starting from 4k.
Going through the posts here I've checked spark plug caps (one had the wire loose), changed spark plugs, oil, air filter, throttle bodies are about to be synced, however I'm still waiting on Morgan Carbtune which I ordered 3 weeks ago.
Other than that, after reading on ticking and cam chain noises here, I'm starting to convince myself my engine sound isn't the crispiest too.
Since it has done 45k KM and I have no records of any sort of service done to it, could it be time to check valve clearances? The ticking sound is more prominent when the engine is warm (video is of a cold engine) and I can hear the ticking when going at slower speeds. I tried to get closer to cam chain too for you to listen if you hear anything unusual. This is my first FZ6 and I've read that they're quite noisy, but I like taking care of my bikes and cars, so I want it to be in as good condition as possible.
