First of all, apologies, I know this issue seems to come up a lot but I really would appreciate some guidance.
Recently got a 2008 FZ6S with 20,000 km's. It has a very loud engine tick, the seller said its nothing to worry about and looking online there seem to be differing opinions, some say it's an issue serious enough to warrant diagnosis and repair, others say it's the yamatick, nothing of concern.
So, the tick occurs all the time. Does not matter whether the engine is cold or warm, and varies with engine speed, that is it speeds up as RPM's increase. Around 6 or 7000 rpm and above the tick is too fast to discern above the engine noise. The tick is really quite loud, can hear it with helmet on and visor down easily. I've tried using a long screwdriver as a stethoscope touching various engine parts (including CCT bolt on right side) but can't find the source. It doesn't seem to be louder on one side compared to the other.
It sounds almost exactly like the noise in this guy's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Wn_Q86AFg
thanks for any direction :don'tknow:
