Tapping/Knocking when warm - Pointy.

As above, my SK6 sv makes noise tapping/knocking but only when warm?? Not massively bad YET.

Any ideas?

I reckoned tappets/valve clearance

Any idea of cost to rectify the problem?

Thanks

There are no tappets, its bucket and shims.

Valve clearence is unlikely with 4K

CCT about to click on or "they all sound like that" and your motor has freed up a little

Hi,

What was it?

I'm having exactly the same problem, knocking from the back cylinder only when hot.

Best regards,
