(ZZR 1100 C2) Whats that tapping noise.. is it from timing/cam chain or from valve(s) ?

I have just adjusted the valves 2 days ago in local repair service.. before the adjustement the tapping noise was fairly hearable.. after it became that loud.

Please help me to point out the reason for this anomality..

I dont know what it was.. but they did fix it the second time. They told there was no backlash to adjust the valves. I've driven some 20.ooo km since then and its still going strong,

What did it turn out to be?

ZZRs are very versatile and durable bikes. Can just recommend them to everyone. The bike has nothing to do with unskilled mechanics and the lack of maintenance. If you give her what she needs, she'll definitely make it up for you ! I also own a Kawasaki.. but a ZXR .. Never thought will love it that much.. but I do love it :D

@GalaxRRider I think you're right, when not assembled back correctly

its the camchain,replaced chain and tensioner on mine and that solved the problem.

I think your CAMshafts are not aligned properly +- 1 teeth from default settings.

Check that first.

I just replaced a piston and the timing is wrong on the cams and it makes that clicking noise... Let me know if you get it fixed!
