hey guys, i have a 06 zx-6r with about 5k miles on it...and theres a little ticking/clicking sound that comes from the front of the bike whenever i accelerate in any gear... Is this normal? if not,what can i do?any help would be appreciated. thanks!

 

besides the CCT, the first2 things come to mind. Stem bearing tq specs and drive chain/sprocket integrity.

 

Define "front of the bike." Does it make this noise when you are off the bike, it's sitting at idle, and you twist the throttle?

 

when i twist the throttle...and also when i let go of the throttle and its crusing in gear.. sorry guys i'm new to the biking world so...again any info would help.

 

So how are the chain and sprockets?

 

Still need more details; as many as possible.

 

it's a ticking noise that comes from...well near the front tire somewhere...where the shocks right above the front brakes are...around there somewhere lol. and again it makes noise when i twist the throttle and when i let go of the throttle and its cruising in gear. if anything, i'll just go get my bike serviced and see whats wrong..

 

The dealer will charge you an arm & a leg for some mysterious noise. Check all your nuts & bolts for tightness and al your brake line clips to the front fender etc. While sitting on the bike, apply the fron brake and push up, down back forth on the handlebars to see if you can reproduce that sound to find out where it's coming from.

 

Check the front axle torque

 

i'll try all of the above tomorrow. Thanks alot guys.
