    Hear a tapping sound

    by Roger450r » Wed Apr 18, 2007 10:09 pm

    Just bought an 05 450R from a friend of mine who had only put about 20 hours on it then stopped riding. Anyways i had it serviced today to replace a fork seal and had them change the oil while it was there. Now it's tapping. Sounds like it's coming from the engine and the mechanic said not to worry about it that it's normal.

    What's your take on this gents? Is this normal because i've never heard it before but i've only had the bike about a month.


    Thanks

    these bikes tick pretty loud. the ticking is amplified by the installation of a skid plate.
