Hi everyone, I've got a Gen 1 2000 model, and I think it may have a problem although I'm not sure so perhaps you guys might be able to shed some light on it.
It rides perfectly, but on tickover only after it has been ridden i can hear a strange noise coming form the engine, you have to crouch down close to it, hard to describe but its like a rubbing sound in the engine, doesn't sound bad at the mo, but just don't want it to get worse and be a problem later(if it is one at all?!). I've done a oil change recently with Castrol 10-40.
its covered 19000 miles, as far as i know the valve clearances haven't been done, but to be honest doesn't sound like a tappet issue to me.
Hope that all makes sense, if anyone can advise that would be great.
Cheers
Dave
