Clutch and Ticking noise - Page 4

New symptoms on my bike: I have been having trouble starting my gz this week. I recharged the battery fully and no luck I have tried moving the kill switch button because it has work for me in the past and nothing. The starter and the engine sounds like they are turning good, but it won't start. Sometimes it does start and sometimes it doesn't . When i tried to started you can smell the gas and sea foam. So I check the air box drain plug to check if it had fluids in the air box, and to my suprise when I remove the plug ( a lot of oil came out off the tube )i know that allitle of oil in the air box is ok but it was a big puddle. can this be because the oil was to full ? Or bad piston rings? Bad valves? Any ideas thank you. I went to autozone and bought a compression tester so I'll be checking the compression this weekend...

Sounds like you may have been a little over full on the oil.Have you adjusted the valves lately.Tight valves can cause hard starting.
:cool: :??:
