High pitch clicking when idling
07/24/17 at 18:10:40

I've noticed a high pitch clicking sound when my bike idles and when I'm driving it. I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. I've recently changed the oil, air filter, battery, fuel petcock(with raptor), and fuel line. I noticed after I changed the oil and fuel petcock my bike would idle softer and not so loud but I've noticed a high pitch clicking sound. I'm not sure if the bike was idling so loud before that I couldn't hear it or if this is something new that needs to be addressed. Here's a link : https://youtu.be/x-6QuYzAm-w

Wind blowing, or do you have an exhaust leak that strong that it is blowing something around way up there. Just caught my eye and seemed odd.

Posts: 71	Re: High pitch clicking when idling Reply #8 - 07/26/17 at 08:49:01 Ok so if I understand this correctly it's the cam chain that wears out and needs to be replaced not the cam chain tensioner. I looked up the cam chain problems and noticed most people replace the adjuster instead of the chain. Do I need to replace both?
