Engine ticking?

The bike has developed a slight ticking noise coming from the engine, just like someone is tapping on a can of pop
Any ideas?
1996 750
Done a lot of miles though 83,000

 

Might be time to do a valve clearance check...

 

Yeah i did think it maybe something like that but was not sure

 

Valves job in order
Might want to check in the clutch basket first.

 

I was about to say cam chain tensioners then I saw the year lol. Does the sound go away when you pull in the clutch? Is your oil clean and do you have enough? If no to both, time to start looking into the valves.

As for my sixth gen, I'm about to replace my cct's for the second time, at 53,000 miles. Stupid vtec lol

53,000 miles of riding to church no less ound: you can advertise that bike as ridden by a sweet grandmother to the bingo parlor, instead of who really is riding and what they are doing on it, kinda like lucifer.

 

looooooooool i died when i read this. yeah those clutch ups through fourth gear might be wearing out the cct's a little prematurely....

 

My bike developed a tick after i added to much oil at the last change drained out about 0.1qt to bring it under the high mark and the tick was gone
