The bike is a 99 CR125 with a reasonably new piston(c20 hours). When the bike is idling it makes a loud noise that I would describe as ticking. It sounds like the noise the kickstarter makes when returning but louder. When you rev the bike the noise seems to go away but it could be just that it speeds up and can't be heard:think ? When the engine is dying after you press the kill switch the noise is really obvious. The noise only started happening after last weekends MX practice day, the track was wet so LOTS of revs were required!
Would it help if I recorded the noise for yis'?
I just want to know what tends to cause these noises? Is this the noise usually described as knocking?
A local mechanic said that it is nothing to worry about but we just want to be sure....
Thanks for any thoughts,
Zenith
