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?
No I've never replaced the cam chain but I don't understand. When valve cover is off and I crank the motor over the cam chain looks fine it looks normal
And I bought the bike brand new in 2011 and I've never replaced to cam chain. I've done 3 top ends in it.. But it wasn't making the noise before i tore the motor down?
