You say only when moving, is there a chance this is a (front) wheel bearing? A bearing can make that sound when the races are worn.
I don't think it is that far forward, and the bike only has 7k miles.You say only when moving, is there a chance this is a (front) wheel bearing? A bearing can make that sound when the races are worn.
Hey that is a good candidate! Intermittent, light clicking, it fits. Easy to test also, I just need to stick my finger down there when its running and see if I get shocked. And it even fits with the rain factor, conducting better at first when wet.I had a truck years ago that made the same kind of noise it ended up being the spark plug wire. There was a little crack in the wire and it was sparking to the valve cover making a clicking sound like you are explaining.
Only 7k? I am thinking the cam chain tensioner has not picked up the slack yet. Did you have a 600m valve clearance check?I don't think it is that far forward, and the bike only has 7k miles.
I don't know about the 600 mile valve check as I am the second owner. I have never heard any tapping. The problem has only just started to manifest itself.Only 7k? I am thinking the cam chain tensioner has not picked up the slack yet. Did you have a 600m valve clearance check?
The first valve check on the DL is 14,500 miles. If it were a DR , then 600 miles would be the first valve check.Only 7k? I am thinking the cam chain tensioner has not picked up the slack yet. Did you have a 600m valve clearance check?
