Hi guys, actualy got my 2003 k2 in the road for over an hour today and noticed a clicking kinda sound coming from the front cylinder , carried on rideing and it was still doing it after an hour, the bike performance seemed fine, i let it cool down when i got home for 20-30 mins , started it and its gone, ride it again a bit hard to warm her up and 10 mins later the clicking/clanking has come back?

Went down to local suzuki dealer Aye Gees in welling some of you migth know and was told by the mechanic there who also owns a k2 sv that his does it aswell and its no big deal? proberly just the vavle shims at the max adjustment (i felt like asking why does his still make the noise then? after all his mechanic there) he said its fine but to get the vavle clearance checked

They wany 50£ an hour there, plus vat and £ for the gaskets, to check it looking at proberly 70-80, and its proberly needs adjusting and he said no way more than 200£

Hmm , my bikes at 20k and i have no evidance of it being done before, he said it was fine to ride around for now , but wanted ur op?
