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?

The sound not really obvious. Till just now after a short ride.

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

I believe i hear from engine. I sitting on the machine.. the sound it like coming more from left side.

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.

Check exhaust couplings/joints.sounds like you have a blowing exhaust..

Richyrd5, thanks for your reply. I will get it checked soon.
