2006 CBR1krr, 15K miles (brand new chain/sprocket and bearings). I think it's been happening even before the upgrades but when comming to a stop, i'll pull in the clutch and put my foot down. When i'm still in gear stopped, you can hear a off-tick like every 2 to 3 seconds. It seems to happen more when i sway the bike slighty from side to side (i get bored at stop lights haha).


Also today my temps has hit 228, (in 90 degree wheather). Tried to give as much information as possible. Anyone might know? (i know 1000cc's are loud bikes, but it seems like something)

(valve adjustment - not done yet
oil change - about 3K miles ago and 6 months)

 

Anyone? I am hearing a similar sound on my 07. But the noise seems to only happen when in first gear. Going to take it to the dealer but I'd kinda like to
have an idea.

 

sounds like maybe needs a valve adjustment.

 

Does it stop ticking when you take it out of gear? What about out of gear with clutch in/out?

I wouldn't worry about the temp unless the fan isn't kicking on. Mine usually kicks in about 220F but if I'm in stop and go it'll sometimes rise to 227F before the fan starts making a dent in the heat buildup.

 

Only in 1st and 2nd gear, clutch out. Calling the dealer in the AM to set up an appointment.
Just hit 15K miles and the manual states new plugs and filters at 16K so might as well...

 

The dealer will surely taketh your money Hard to say if it's a normal tick or something serious on the web. Good luck.

 

So... Thought I'd post an update on the noise.
The culprit?
I had recently replaced my rear tire and when putting it all back together I thought the chain looked a little loose so I adjusted it.
Anyhow, the chain did not have enough slack in it.
Turns out my buddy with an 06 1KRR had the same problem a while back. Turned the axle locks in about .06" tightened it up and no more noise.
All is well again...

 

WHAAAOOOOOO, dont do any of that, I had the same problem before and I thought it was all those things stated in previous threads. After almost haveing a nervous breakdown from the dealer telling me it will cost about $1500 to fix....come to find out when I replaced the sprockets the clicking noise was due

 

THE BARING IN THE REAR WHEEL. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE NOSIE WAS COMING FROM THE clutch and engine area. Not so.........Check or replace the baring in the rear wheel. I was missing some and some where even discentagrating (sp). Fraction of the cost to check out before you start dealing twith the clutch and engine!

 

I've also heard that it can be the automatic tensioner on the cam chain. I hear the same noises from my motor when I'm coasting to a stop in gear. I called a local dealership and they said it was a normal noise.
