Hi, need some advice.

Post by JrCherish » Mon Sep 14, 2015 5:27 pm

Hi, i am new here. I am from singapore. I own a nc35 recently. Around 1000km, i did oil change, coolant flush and top up. Plus valve clearance. But now when i was riding or even stationary, i hear some tickling sound. What could be the cause?.

It could be a bunch of things. Did the noise exist before you wrenched on it? If not, did you get the valve clearances correct?

Little info, can you explain where at the engine or bike and when does that ticking sound appear?

Oh, now my ride.. no more tickling sound but i do notice something. It is way different from quite a number of nc35/rvf. My ride itself, engine sound is louder then others. Other is exhaust louder.
