Hey everyone. Just a quick question. My 2003 zx636 has a constant slight tick when it's running in gear. It's not loud, but noticeable. Nothing knocks or bangs, and the bike runs smoothly, but does anyone know anything about this and should I be worried, or is this normal? Thanks for the input

when you say running in gear i assmue you mean moving? When im going along in town at about 30mph my front brake ticks. Dont know why. If i put a tiny bit of pressure on the brake it stops. Give that a go and see if it stops

It's definitely not coming from the brake. And it's just a quiet tick. Definitely no knocking. As far as I know, it was ridden 1000 miles in the last three months. I just bought it and it only has 10k miles on it. So it's not been ridden a lot. From what I see on most threads, this is just a Kawi thing!! And yes I do need a louder exhaust!! Just wanted to make sure my engine wasn't gonna throw a rod or sonething. Thanks guys!!
