Hello all I just replaced my 2002 fz1 and I rode it for 80k. so I sold it and got a 2008 with 9400 miles. right after I got it I heard knocking at 4000 to 4800.
I have been going nuts trying to find it. I think its rod knock after noticing the sound now I can hear it at 2k to 3k but very quite not like at 4 to 5k.
the bike has a full pipe so no exup bike has good power and the oil looked good, no crap in it. The sound is made with the motor under load only.
I checked the stator and it looks great, I have a cam chain tensioner on order I hope that's it or I just paid $4500 for a bike with a bad motor. any thoughts on what it could be on this low mile bike. thanks B
