poida Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 gday pai.it sounds like the cam chain tensioner needs replacing.i just fitted a new one to my bike a couple of thousand klm,s ago.took me about 15 mins to do .a very easy job to do and the tensioners are cheap to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXX Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Bottomline, the XX makes sounds, funny tick tick ticks, funny rat-a-tat-tat's and sometimes knocking even. It is strange. It started when I bought it in 1998 and 6 years later and 60K miles, it has gotten quieter but still makes noise from time to time. It is natorious for Cam Chain Tensioner issues but I have never heard of anyone ever having a failure. With that, I upgraded to the X-11 CCT (we provide them in a group buy here on the forum) but other then that, be sure you have oil and ride the bitch. Just my $.02 MaXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
