Allright so got the key put it in and now I have a little ticking noise coming from what seems to be inside the cover. Haven't had much time to troubleshoot it yet but I was wondering if anyone else that's done this has heard this or not? Thanks.

Hmmmm.. No I have never run into that problem on mine. Is loud or could it be valve train noise?

 

[josh13]

It's not to loud but noticeable. I think it's to low to be valve train, and never heard it before doing the mod.

Need higher octane gas for this?

 

[josh13]

it's got 93 in it. it sounds like it's near the stator but not sure.

 

[cigaro]

May need to open it back up and check her out.

 

[josh13]

That's what I'm afraid of.

 

[cigaro]

:rockn:

first suggestion
It could be the valves. Alot of times we listen closer after something was changed. It may have been there there all along.
I would remove the pull starter first,it's the only thing that I think would make a ticking sound if it is a new noise.

 

[josh13]

well I rode about 15 miles yesterday and really didn't hear it as much. I really don't know what it is. It might be the valves but I usually pay close attention to odd noises like that, which is why I feel like it's something new. with the weather though it might have to wait to get worked on

 

[cigaro]

How did it perform?

 

[Yesterday]

does it run right?

 

[josh13]

It seemed to run great. a little backfire every now and then(i think it was just loadin up after hard throttle) but not as much of a difference as I expected from the key but I could tell a small difference
