[edit]

i recently adjusted the valves on my 97 xr600r. i adjusted them to the right specs but the engine is making a ticking sound now. any suggestions?

We just did that but we were on the wrong stoke when we adjusted them we were on the exhaust stroke are you sure you were on the compression stroke? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.145.91.147 (talk) 02:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with previous writer - look for the easy answers first. I, on the other hand, ended up with bored cylinder and new piston after I found out that these items were worn beyond the tolerance limits. It started as ticking sound. But again, follow the instructions for valve adjustment, making sure that the piston is at top dead (compression) stroke before measuring/adjusting.
