Tbuk1 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi i have a xj600s and just wondered if it's time for valve adjusting? It has done 21,500 miles and has just developed a ticking noise from the top end... It runs fine and pulls like it should so i dunno. Any help would be much appreciated, is there any thing else i could check out first? Cheers, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpetdude Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm at the same mileage on my XJ600n, gonna leave it for now. The head gasket is just starting to seep a wee bit so I'll get it all done then. I wouldn't worry about it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted March 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2012 sounds like it does if you can hear the tappets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted March 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2012 I would have said you were well past at least an inspection if its never been done, I used to inspect/adjust my 600 every 6K. If you can hear them ticking every 'tick' is damage/wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
