well after the last time we rode i heard a semi loud ticking noise from the motor. i got looking at it today and i changed my oil incase it was just thin or somthing. well that wasnt it and i dont think its the valves because it happened all at once. i think it could possibily be the cam chain because i know that the 2003 Zs had some issues with that but im not entirely sure what. could it be loose? or the tensioner broken possibly? its coming from the right side of the motor if your sitting on the bike and i believe thats where the cam chain is located. any help is appreciated because im lost. ill tear into the motor when i get a chance. between work and school i dont have tons of free time.
