I have a knock in my engine but i really think you may have a bad bearing in your crank. Valves and timing chain i believe is more of a slapping or ticking noise but this is definetely a knock. My engine doesn't sound this bad at all.

Isnt this for sale on ebay?? im almost positve the one i saw has the same plate where the warnings are

[703raul]

[hotme555]

with this sound do u ride it? do u feel any differnce with the performance when it sounds like this?

[703raul]

yes ,but i barely ride .. there is no difference with the performance it feels and runs the same

dam im glad you didnt ride it like that with that bad cam chain it would have blew it up

make it easier on your wallet; buy a honda.

That clicking noise is your timing chain and your exaust is getting red because a wire is grounding out, it doesn't sound right but I had the same problem.

Main my "Z" was doing this and i installed 2 new Hot Cams and Timing chain and adjuster then my drive chain jumped and slammed into the size of my cases and busted them.my Z is built for MX racing and the Chain was a D.I.D 520 ERV3 X-RING CHAIN.LOl figures hahaha

@DAGSTERZ26 dude thanks for hitting me back on that. I been on Thumpertalk all day !!!

[DAGSTERZ26]

@yacanstopme Yes sir, EXACTLY... After I installed the MCCT I felt so bad that I did not make a video of the before and after. I was not expecting the sound to go away 100%. But when I adjusted the the MCCT finger tight to the the cam chain, and torqued it, I was like. "its now or never" I cranked the engine, started it, and it sounded amazing....I was very impressed. I got the Thumpertalk MCCT.

[yacanstopme]

@DAGSTERZ26 so all you did was change the ACCT to a MCCT ??? and kept the same cam chain... ohh ya and hey, the MCCT must extend out longer into the motor then the ACCT

[DAGSTERZ26]

I had the exact same problem on my 03 Z400, I purchased a "manual cam chain tensioner" and installed it. $41.95. 25 minuites. 2 beers, done, and the engine sounds beautiful. Sounds like a brand new quad... Best money ever spent... It is only the cam chain slapping the top of your guide because your ACCT is at its max. MCCT is the way to go.

how much did that cost??? AND THANKS FOR THE POST
