    All Z experts, slight ticking sound- (movie)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
