I'm not far off you in Halifax. Berlin is in Ripon and he's pretty savvy.

ok guys, thanks for all your supportive posts, Its a curvy to answer one question, the guy i bought it from didn't have it loing but replace oil filter, oil and air filter, not sure when it was last serviced properly, could probably do with one now i guess.
You're possibly right about it being an SV just being an SV, but as i say, i'm a paranoid young git. I'll give Berlin a PM and see if he can help out As for symptoms, tight spot on new chain, clicking/tapping noise from engine, rattle coming from engine when letting the clutch out in first/second gear from go slow to list a couple. Just want someone who knows a bit to say yeah she's fine or no she's a wreck!!lol |

How often does the clicking/tapping noise happen and under what circumstances?
Is it a consistent tapping, as in every twenty seconds or just every now and again randomly?
