My 05 drz has a gnarly tick and i cant seem to get it to go away. the valve lash is perfect at .03 or .003 whatever it is... and its not the cam chain. i got out this fancy stethoscope that my dad has and it sounds like its more exhaust valve area.

Anything?

also i have a spare head the is missing the exhaust valve (because it was damaged). do u think that i could try switching the exhaust valve from the head that is on the bike now to that head or will there be a problem with sealing.

Hope theres someone out there who can help

Check your valve clearance again.

Did the tick randomly start or has it been doing it for a while?

Might be time to tear her down.

i bought the bike with the tic thinking it was just the valve lash. i had the top end fully tore down and found that the piston was in wrong, fixed that and when i started her back up the tic was still there.

if i can figure out how to post a video of it i will try

Sometimes tick is just normal, your description of GNARLY might be different from ours, but yeah, a video would be awesome.

Oh, and I run 0.02 and 0.03 on my intake and exhaust on the 110's with aftermarket cams.

You didn't recently add a air filter to it did you? I put a 2 bros pancake style filter on my bike an you could hear everything going on lol

 

[TheStock50Kid]

^^ That too. It's like that on all engines. You can hear it " working " to put it in simple terms, lol.

^ Skid plates do the same thing....

Is the motor stock? Big bore? If so what kind? My buddy has a KLX110 that I put a 165cc skut piston.... That really amplified the inturnale noises. I took it apart looking for what I screwed up... All was good. It still runs good with no issues... Except a tic lol.

Yea i put a 165 kit with stroker in mine and mine also has a tick but runs fine starts first kick everytime and runs strong

Did it bend the valve when the piston was in wrong? If the valve was hitting the piston then I bet it's bent.

Its a 138 takegawa s cut. When I took the head off I inspected the valve as far as I could without disassembly. I put solvent in the port and it had a good seal so I didnt think anything was wrong

 

[ridered2480]

There's a video of my tick... gonna try out a different head in a bit... if it don't go away I'm gonna take it to the city and ghost ride it off of a high building... dong worry I'll video tape it

 

[TheStock50Kid]

I've heard worse. Ride it like you stole it, once it breaks you'll know what the issue was.

 

[mx4lifeCR125]

Sounds bad. Real bad. It'd make good scrap though.

Reviving an old thread but my piranha 125 sounds exactly like that klx right now...ever figure it out?
