noise

Hello girls and boys, I know a bit about bikes, but not much about this one other than basics. I don't know about it's quirks or things to look watch out for. Like on old zx11'the alt chain tensioner snaps and lodges in the clutch and explodes it for example. I bought this very clean 14,000mi...

Had a nasty tick when i got the bike so i took the cap off and knocked the cct one more click as a temporary fix. She still makes some noise ticking but not as bad. My main consern is the other noise in the video posted below. The bike is stock minus a k&n air filter, bought it used so im not...

Hey guys I figure this is about the best place I can ask this question as there are so many people on this forum that are from around the world. Within the next few months I'll be graduating with my bachelors and I am thinking I want to move. Currently I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have been...

Hi all, I'm hoping for some direction, or information on a beeping issue.. I have been searching the forum and google for a while now, and have come up with mixed results, but none that seem to accurately describe my beeps, and or my problem.. Moving forward, I have a 2012 ZX6R that I...

So I have some top end noise from my 05 636 and I recently read a bunch of crap on the Internet and went and replaced the timing chain tensioner. Didn't fix anything . So I checked the valve clearance and found only one valve was off by .02 mm . That's ridiculously small . So I decided to put it...

Hey all, My name is Michael and I just joined the forum and recentley bought a 99' zx6r. I have rode it a couple times but have it stored away because of winter. Any how the battery is dead right now due to it's cold natured, so tonight I jump it off to let it run a little to keep the carb clean...

Hey guys, I have a noise, which I know it's normal on a motorcycle, that bugs me a bit. This is my second 636, the first one was a 2005 with 18,000miles and my current one is a 2006 with 7,000miles. NO IT'S NOT THE CCT, I have an ape cam tentioner and I know the sound. they both do this...

Ive searched on here and other sites and cant really find the answer to my problem. Every once in a while when shifting from 1st to 2nd it used to make this popping/knock sound. Its starting to happen more often now, it only normally does it when im going over 35 in first and than go to shift...

I'm new to this forum and this is my first thread post. I just bought a brand new 2011 zx6r that was on a redtag sale clearance. This is my 3rd bike but it's been 8 years since my last 600. I know that the break in of a bike should be taken with some caution (don't redline it, go through the...

Hey folks, I'm new to bikes in general and still quite new to this particular bike as well, but I have a mechanical issue that started a day or two ago and is really bothering me. When I slow down (braking or just engine) I hear this sort of metalic clacking noise. It really sounds like some...

Hi everyone I am new to this and was wondering what my tapping might be. Whenever I am going and I pull in my clutch I feel a tap on my feet through my pegs. I also hear it and I can't tell if it is coming from the motor or maybe my chain is slapping the swingarm. Any input would be greatly...
