anybody...
i got this 99 900rr about a month ago and already put 2000 miles on it. that puts the mileage a little over 17,000. sometimes when i start the bike and it's still cold, there is this slight tick noise sounding like it's coming from the head. once warmed up, i don't hear it. could this be in need of a valve clearance adjustment? my old zx6r had over 30,000 miles and made all kinds of engine noise and it was considered normal for kawasakis. do hondas have normal engine noise? any imput is well appreciated.

 

I drive a cbr900rr 1999 and it makes some noises, its quite normal read this useful link. http://www.simonreid.net/fireblade/g...ing-engine.htm

Have a nice one

 

It's your can chain tenshiner

 

prob valves stickin a lil then catching up when it warms up and may need a valve adjustment

 

carb slide,s they all rattle, mine ha had a totally rebuilt engine due to being tuned, new valves ans re cut seats and stems new tensioner and chain, new road n track cams still rattles like my mates, carb slides are like plastic, and rattle in the carbs,

well thats what i think lol,

 

JUst a suggestion: Pull in the cluctch while the biuke is warming. Does the noise stop? It's possible the clutch could be making a slight rattle. Other than that every bike I've ever messed with has had some form of valve train noise until it warmed up. Some even after that.
