Clicking noise

[Brizz]

I have an clicking noise comming from my bike when i accellerate. Im not sure what to make of it. It sounds metallic. Any ideas?

could be your valves...
could be that you are riding a carburated(sp) that was set up for High alt and now you are at sea level?

First, try increasing your gas octane and see if it goes away. If that doesn't help (or if you're already using premium), get the valves checked/adjusted.

Could also be the cam chain tensioner going out, which is common for all types of bikes at some point.

not valves, seems to be comming from under the bike.

Only happens while accelerating.... sounds familiar.

As the chain tightens between the front and rear sprockets above the swing arm, the chain gets a little loose under the swing arm. The clicking sound could be the chain literally slapping the bottom of the swing arm. Check to see that the slack isn't too loose. If the sound is more like a rubber band twanging, then you may be a little tight.

Just my $0.02

I would agree that it's prob. the chain or cam chain. Check the chain 1st if that doesn't solve it try the cam chain. The stock ones are set up to tighten as you accelerate so it could be worn, put a manual tightener on there so that it isn't loose at idle.

The chain is fine. It seems to be comming from the front of the bike just behind the front tire.


I lost my cards the first time i took off.
