All Z experts, slight ticking sound- (movie)

[Kintore]

Well Im wondering if this has been there all those days, and im just noticing it now due to the fact I put a new clutch and all that in there. Heres the video, its pretty obvious that you can hear it. Just very carefully listen. Any ideas on what it is?
Im assuming this is all in my head, im just looking for something off or odd. I think shes ok.:welcome:

[Mike_Ham_250R]

I don't know what noise you are talking about in that video but its the same thing as my ATC250R basically. I believe.

sorry I didnt get back to you yet on your pm. I haven't watched the video, but i'll bet you anything its piston slap. My Z has done it since day one. No matter how many fresh top ends I put in it, it always does it. Doesn't hurt a thing, just annoying.

[TimSr]

Its piston slap. Its probably not a problem if everything else is working right. You can hear it a lot more in air cooled models. Ive seen some do it even right after a bore job, but it shouldnt do it after a good bore job. My Quad-Z rattled really bad, until Wiseco did a bore job on it. Id ignore it for now, but next tiem you have the top end off, measure the bore for wear.

[Billy Golightly]

hmmm thats more like a rattle sounding...like something is loose outside of the motor. Is the pipe tight? All motor mounts, raditors, kickstarter, swingarm bolt, ect?

[nimda78]

thats a great sounding 2 smoke! ride it like you stole it!
never heard a two stoke that didnt have that ping to it...

[Kintore]

Good thinking billy, Ill go check everythings tight tomorrow. Thanks for all the help guys. Derrick and tim, it wont harm it right? Thats all I needed to know. Im going to see how long I can run on this piston. 242 months and counting!

[Dammit!]

Sounds a little different than mine. Could be the recording though.
