After warm up on my '77 r100, there is a consistent light ticking sound from the right cylinder. Only 18k miles on it and it was completely gone through last year by cert mechanic. Any thoughts?
R100'78 here too and its most probably the tappets slightly looser on that one side. NO big deal, as one mentioned already. Its good to hear this. An easy check, however with valve cover off. Randy
I recently acquired a 1994 R100R that was in storage for 7 years. When I heard it run the left cylinder was ticking nicely, but the right was fairly quiet. Checking both cylinders clearance I found the left intake spot on and the exhaust a little tight. The right cylinder, the quiet one, was tight on the exhaust but the intake had almost zero clearance. After adjustment both sides are now ticking like a Swiss watch.
