Ticking toward front of head?

[WarriorPride87]

I have a very distinctive tic in the front of my head it has plenty of power I tried taking the exhaust off and you can still hear hear it with it unbolted I thought it might be a exhaust leak. Should I be worried? It's doing it as soon as you start it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced!

Adjust your valve lash. These bikes have a bit of ticking from this.

It could be that exhaust gasket too

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not needing a valve adjustment. These are the noisiest damn engines!

 

[WarriorPride87]

Ok so I adjusted the valves and It didn't ease the tick at all any ideas?

That's it I'm also getting blue smoke

 

[88WarriorBoy]

blue smoke is oil burning and it sounds like your exhaust valve lash is WAY out of spec

 

[WarriorPride87]

Sorry for my stupidity but how do I adjust it?

 

[96yamwarrior]

you take feeler gages and check the clearence bettween the rocker arm and the valve not sure about what the clearence is but you can probably google that

 

[WarriorPride87]

I adjusted them and its still the same

It is going to be noisey. These engines are known for loud valvetrains. Unless you put in HD valve springs, and a Megacycle cam, then it will be as quiet as a new car.

Does it have to be a megacycle? Cause I have heard from guys running hc's with hd springs that are really quite also. Just didn't know if the megacycle cans are even quieter?

So I either need new valve seals or rings?

 

[96yamwarrior]

for the smoke yeah one of the 2 check your compression with a gage and see what it is at.also does itsatrt hard when its warm?

 

[WarriorPride87]

Nope it starts just fine

 

[WarriorPride87]

Starts up up first or second crank

Idk. I just know that the Megacycle 252x1 in mine is as quite as the one in my friends warrior.

 

[96yamwarrior]

Then I'm guessing it's your valve seals for the smoke cause bad rings start hard when the motor is warm.

How do I check them?
