New to the forum.. Just rebuild the top end in my motocross bike. After rebuild engine is making a funny ticking chattering sound.. Sounds like its coming from possibly lower end but not sure it seams louder on the right hand side of the motor.. Already have the dirt tricks can chain tensioner so don't think it's that.. I've never heard this noise before. I took bike to local Ktm dealer to let them listen to the bike and there stumped on the noise.. It's a little hard to start but it runs fine and revs fine it's just a loud tick tick tick noise.. All they could tell me is to check the valves but they have always been within spec.. Any clues?
