If you have a Gladius, does yours tick at 4,000?
I am about to take my Gladius in for first service.
If I am in 3rd at a steady 4,000 the engine sounds perfect. If I then increase the throttle, even a little, I hear a definite ticking sound. This is probably OK but is annoying, especially because the engine and bike are so great in general. If you have a Gladius, does it do the ticking around 4,000 in 3rd? I want to be able to tell the mechanic what other Gladius owners are, or are not, experiencing. Thanks. |

Doesn't sound like they fixed that then...
 My K6 pointy ticks as well - common thing. |

 Or the problem would presumably disappear at 4001 miles...

Its an SV engine.....they all bleddy tickk (most often a quirky harmless one)...hehehe
unlike mine that might have a stuck cam chain tensioner...in which case could be naughty. Its only just started to tick so its plausible this is the problem.
