Jim R Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hi everyone, Need help before I break down in tears!!! I've just adjusted the valve clearances on my bike and built it back up. When I first fired it up there was a loud ticking noise that can only be discribed as one of those clacker gismo you used to take to football matches. I had a play with the the tensioner and it quietened down but is still very much present. Is it usual for a tensioner to just go, it was fine before I started the work? Has anyone experienced the same? Thanks for your time Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Sorted, it was the tensioner. I took it out again and gave it a really good clean up. Stuck it back in and hey presto, a really well sounding bike!!! Excellent. I think you just have to keep fitting and refitting these till they adjust up properly.
