Strange ticking noise

[Mick 162]

Have noticed a strange ticking noise coming from the bike. No idea what it is or where it's coming from.

Turn the volume up on the clip to hear it....any ideas what it is?

Sounded a bit like snatch in your drivetrain. How tight's your chain?

Chain tension is fine Eddy. The noise frequency is the same in each gear which makes me think it's clutch related?

Hi Mick

         Have you check that there no tight links in chain its only takes one to seize.

The noise is linked to engine speed and not road speed. Very strange eh? Will just have to wait for it to go bang.

It seemed to me to be when you cranked over in a bend, I was thinking a tight link too. You could always check the balancer chain tension too, I suppose.

Could it be the cam-chain slider? How would I check that?
