Ok. I've been searching the forum and the web for an answer, but none seem to match the issue I'm having.
2008 R1200R. Sounds great at startup and for the first 10 minutes or so, but once the bike is fully warmed up I get a fairly noticeable ticking coming from the left cylinder between about 3200 and 3400RPMs. Checked the valve clearances, rocker clearances (adjusted on the tighter side) and TB sync. Everything is within spec.
Does this sound like a cam chain tensioner issue? From what I've read, this is usually a sound you hear at startup when the engine is cold... correct me if I'm wrong.
Any help would be appreciated. OR... if everyone says "this is normal" I'm totally good with that too : )
