Having spent a bit of time ridng the bike leaning off at all angles to listen to the infamous ticking from the engine, I correct myself, and say ticking is from the left-handside (when on bike) and also can be heard quite well when listening down the hole where the forks go down. So it probably is valve ticking after all ![[Image: ranting.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ranting.gif)
Now, since I talked about backfiring, there has been a lot less of it, untill this morning !! When I started her this morning I didn't even think about any backfiring, what a mistake, cos this mornings was its bestest and loudest so far - Scared the living shites out of me, even stopped the engine and had a look underneath in case there was a gapping hole in the sump or something
Pi$$ing me off now
