Hello, I have a '95 Suzuki Savage 650. Whenever the bike is at idle or low end RPM's, I can hear a ticking noise coming from the top end of the engine.
Yesterday I adjusted my valves for the first time, and it's been quite a while that I'm aware of that they were touched.

Slapped the tank loosely back on for a test; either worse  or same as before.

The rockers seemed to be unusually tight before adjusting. I've also messed with the decomp cable after checking my Clymers.

Any tips or suggestions?
It's been embarrassing for quite a while now.

Thanks!

Edit: I also took a video of the problem, and have tried to isolate the whereabouts with a flathead screwdriver 'stethoscope' with the only difference in a higher pitched tone from the lower knocks.

Sounds like a loose cam chain to me. I think I can hear it scraping when you put the camera near the bottom of the engine.

Here's an example for you to compare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSKo7qQH3hE

yup, cam chain.  noisy at the bottom.
put your hand on the cover behind the oil filter cover and see if you feel it tapping.

yep, looks like it's time.

measure from the aluminum housing to the end of the cylinder that goes into it.

if you got 38k miles, that's pretty good.
he musta like going for long trips.

you either have to replace the chain, and maybe the guides
or get one of these...

I'd reckon 25k to be careful!

Thanks for the quick replies, all.

Verslavy or find a welder eh?
