Hey everyone. I have been following this forum for a while and just finally registered. I recently purchased a 2004 FZ6 which now has just under 20,000km on it (under 12,500 miles). My last bike was a 95 Honda CB400 so these noises are new to me. I know it has been covered a lot but I need to ask. When my bike is hot, and I rev it up, I hear a significant knocking when I let off the throttle. I'm pretty sure the knocking happens when I am opening the throttle as well I just can't hear it well over the engine noise. I am not talking about the little ticks of the valves, this is a a knock. I followed the advice from a forum and changed the cam chain tensioner. The bike sounds smoother but the knocking remains. I like to do long trips 2 up in the mountains of this beautiful country and want to keep things safe. So does anyone have an opinion of what this is? It doesn't happen until the bike is fully hot.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
