    Hello all. I purchased a beautifully taken care of 1994 FZR1000 two weeks ago. I am new to street bikes, but not new to motorcycles, I raced motocross for 15 years, and maintained all my bikes(full engine rebuilds and all). On my way home from work today, I noticed a tapping noise coming from my new baby. It sounded like a valve severly out of adjustment, or something to that effect. When I got home, a mechanics stethiscope lead me to the rear of the engine. I could not identify the noise source perfectly, but it was loudest from the clutch cover. The tapping is not audible until about 3500rpm, is consistent with RPM, in any gear, with or without the clutch engaged. The bike has 17K on it, and appears to never have been abused. I changed the oil 250 miles ago with Mobil 1 super syn and a mobil 1 m1 110 filter, and the old oil was clean and had nothing to arouse suspicion. Just hoping somebody has an idea what this might be, before I go tearing my new bike apart. Thanks
