KZ1000P Tick tick ticking.

Just curious. My KZ1000P18 makes an odd ticking sound on the left hand side of the bike that increases with acceleration. Also at around 3500-4000 RPMs it has one HECK of a vibration that smothes out after 4000 RPMs. Any ideas? Thanks!

well there is a little retainer bracket in there
that holds the wire out of harms way maybe loose.

I have checked all the retainer clips and checked every screw I can find everything seems to be nice and snug. Since it increases in speed as my bike increases in speed I'm thinking that maybe its chain/sproket related?

1. Buy a mechanics stethescope from Harbor Freight... only a couple bucks. Start the engine and locate the source of the ticking by using the stethescope.
2. adjust valve clearances
3. sync carbs

Sounds like your bike might be due a tune up?
