So who's available this weekend?

[Darkness!]

Awright gents and ladies, I've got an '06 ZX6R (636) that could use some looking into. She's running fine from my limited knowledge but I would like her to be gone over by someone who knows something about these bikes.

It sounds to me like there is just a bit too much metal on metal contact coming from the motor. :dunno

Tryin to be proactive here.

It's not 'knocking sound, it seems more like the valves or something. Much 'lighter' in nature if that makes sense.

I know, cool story bro...sounds like an AAMCO commercial.

Anyhow, Shawn I know you gets busy but if you're available I would appreciate a call/text/PM.

Chad, you around this weekend and not booked up already?

Fair warning, I do have an eighty pound lap dog (least he wants to be be) he might lick you excessively or whip you with his waggy tail...:teeth

Sounds like it needs a valve adjustment, or the "automatic" cam-chain tensioner is about to adjust itself. Have the valves ever been adjusted? Or even checked? Sometimes a loose valve will make noise if it needs the gap adjusted.

The cam-chain tensioner "ramps-up" so to speak as it ratchet's up to each spot. Sometimes a simple rap w/a plastic mallet @ idle on the adjuster will "pop" it up to the next "slot" as it adjusts itself.

Just grasping at straws from your description...

Don't guess. Have it looked at by a pro.

Dave, that's pretty much what I think too. I just don't feel qualified to get into that myself. Ya know? I don't want to start taking stuff off/apart and then think, "Aw faargh! Where'd that tiny spring go and do I really need it (the answer is always yup, of course)?

Thanks alot Alan (I'm assuming that's your name). A wealth of helpful advice ya got there...:rolleyes Did you read all of my post? The proactive part? Or the part askin if either Shawn (Elskipador) or Chad (Ironbutt) had time this weekend?
