Hello. I just got myself a 06 636. The thing rocks. Its a lot more manuverable than my Honda 929. Im still breaking it in. It has around 300 miles. I heard a slight ticking sound coming from underneath the tank. Its very faint, but enough that I can hear it while im riding at lower RPMs. Im guessing it may be a vavle or something. Is this a normal sound? I wasnt too worried about it because I figured it would seat itself after a while. What do you guys think?

 

yeah get used to it .it's the nature of the bike but you'll be closing in on a service soon you can ask em bout it when you take it in

 

Get used to it as in "its just the nature of the beast"? Dang....Oh well.
Hey man I dig your windscreen. Is that the double bubble?

 

I just read about the ticking. Sorry for the repost. I guess its just loud.

 

Yes it's a PUIG DB .........thanks

 

Loud is the word , these bikes just run with a little noise it's normal for them

 

Like every one else said they bikes are loud. I just had my valve adjustment done and put on a manuel cam chain tensonier and it still is loud.

 

yeah if you are used to a honda it will seem loud - hondas are known for being smooth and quiet.

 

smooth and quiet = boring...

loud and ticking = kawi power!!!![sm=gears.gif]

 

[sm=jawdrop.gif] Its nuts! I moved my 929 this morning and that thing felt heavy and large compared to the Ninja. I cant wait until im done with the breaking in.
