My Himalayan is getting progressively more noisy at the top end.
Both me and the bike mechanic I use have checked the tappets - well within spec - but it is still very noisy. He said another one came in to him sounding the same, it too runs well
No power loss or anything, just that loud rattly tappet sound.
I have also changed the cam chain tensioner (old one seemed ok, but they aren't expensive).
Only sounds bad when riding, otherwise just a more quiet ticking at tickover, more noticeable if it is revved then let go the throttle.....any ideas, anyone?
Otherwise I am enjoying the bike on the few rough dirt roads I can find here
