I just completed a top end rebuild. Here is a list of my new mods.
-86mm 11:1 wiseco piston
-stg 2 hotcam
-crf450 cam chain
-kibblewhite valve springs
-ground valves and cleaned them
-new valve guides and seals
-Adjusted valves
-lapped valves
-no air box lid w/ k&n filter and pre-filter
-choke off of carb
-carb jetted at 40 pilot and 160 main
HERES THE PROBLEM
When I start it up there is a continuous ticking noise that sounds like it is in the top end. There is no power loss and the ticking occurs from idle to full throttle it just increases in speed. It is not a horrible loud tick just noticeable. What could be my problem? Is this something to worry about?
All help appreciated!
