Re: Tick tick clunk!

I want to thank you all for contributing to this post. My bike has a similar ticking noise issue that none of the mechanics in my area can seem to help me identify it...I am going on guesswork now. My post is in the troubleshooting section-- "Need help with diagnosis."

Although I have a running bike with compression, I still have an awful ticking noise. I replaced the exhaust rocker, but still have same noise (you would think it should have at least gotten better?). Probably going to replace the camshaft and other rocker arm, and maybe take of the head and inspect the valves---I am wondering about the valve seats being worn....

Anyhow, reading this post has helped me a lot in terms of making sure the TDC is the TDC. I too, had been going by the T mark in the site glass, which Suzuki mechanics told me they don't even rely on. I have mine in the correct position, so I am going after looking for some worn out part.....I don't know....
