R1 ROSS Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have a 01 plate yzfr1 its done 7000 miles and has no service history although the dealer i brought it from said hed given it a service.Anyway whilst idling theres a ticking coming from the engine its not that loud really and doesnt seem to rise with revs but i can sometimes hear it on the road ,also when out on the road the carbs seem to sound rather 'throaty'are these noises normal or is something up?

crummydillon Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 the ticking I have had both on the R6 and on my 2005 R1 (current bike). Both bikes serviced when necessary and nothing picked up plus had/have high mileage on them. Recall another R1 owner saying the same thing got it all checked out and nothing again. If in doubt get a second opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
