Hi, need some advice.
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?.

Re: Hi, need some advice.
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?

Re: Hi, need some advice.
Little info, can you explain where at the engine or bike and when does that ticking sound appear?

Re: Hi, need some advice.
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.
