Abnormal engine noise?
 

Hello, first I will give link to the movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=PL&hl=pl&v=EVSDYzn4Szc , this is my friend movie. And the question, this is normal sound of sv engine?? I've got the same noise in my sv, I change both chain tensioner and camshaft chain but it doesn't help. Any ideas ?? Sorry for my english ;)

Re: Another technical question
 

Do you mean the "Tick-tick-tick" noise?

I would say as it's quite a slow noise compared to engine noise at idle, that it is Cam/Timing gear noise. Camshafts rotate at half the speed of the crankshaft.

Therefore a slower noise.

Difficult though due to sound quality on video.

Re: Another technical question
 

is there the correct amount of oil?

could be a shim needing done..

Re: Another technical question
 

That doesn't sound normal no. Check valve clearances, also for loose clutch center nut and daft stuff like that.

Re: Another technical question
 

Doesn't sound healthy.. check...

Valve clearances
chamchain tensioner and stuff (most likely with that machine gun rattle)
oil level etc..

Tooday I've warm up the engine and pull down the oil, 3L :o Should be 2,3, I ratted it back like in the service book said. Tomorow I will phone to yamaha, and give them sv to vavle clearance :) O I will forget, I made a movie form my engine working and the click, click, click noise make me anger :mad:

But where was it in the oil window?

Re: Another technical question
 

Oil window was full, now oil is between H and L :)

Re: Another technical question
 

remember to check oil when the bike is upright (sorry if that sounds patronising, but some people havn't done it this way and easily overfilled!)
