99 kawi vulcan
 

i am new at this, so here is my question. i bought a 1999 kawasaki vulcan 1500 custom, really sweet and well kept, the top end was rebuilt at 42000 mi., it presently has 55000 mi and runs great, there is a tapping in top, can any of you vulcan riders give any tips on this??

When was the last time you changed the oil and filter? This ride does use a hydraulic lash adjuster for the valves. Also check the CCT (cam chain tensioner) Good luck and keep us up to date. Welcome to KF

55k on a 99? My hats off to that guy.

thanx!!
 

hey dragoner, i appreciate your response to my question, and i am fixin to do the first oil change since i got the bike in sept.,
