Engine ticking sound
I'm pretty much a newb to bikes and this forum. I have a 2008 Ninja 250r with 5.5k miles and I've just recently started hearing a ticking sound when the bike is turned on. I've read that it could be the CCT or need a valve adjustment, however, what are other common possibilities this could be happening? Should I be expecting a valve adjustment at only 5.5k miles?
Thanks |

Welcome to our site, Jason !!!
No gap. Camshaft Chain Tensioner Removal: CAUTION This is a non-return type camshaft chain tensioner. The push rod does not return to its original position once it moves out to take up camshaft chain slack. Observe all the rules listed below: When removing the tensioner, do not take out the mounting bolts only halfway. Re-tightening the mounting bolts from this position could damage the tensioner and the camshaft chain. Once the bolts are loosened, the tensioner must be removed and reset. Do not turn over the crankshaft while the tensioner is removed. This could upset the camshaft chain timing and damage the valves. •Remove the right lower fairing (see Lower Fairing Removal in the Frame chapter). •Loosen the cap bolt •Remove the tensioner mounting bolts, and remove the chain tensioner body. •Replace the chain tensioner gasket with a new one. •Tighten: Torque - Chain Tensioner Mounting Bolts: 9.8 N·m (1.0 kgf·m, 87 in·lb) •Take out the holder plate. •Install the O-ring and tighten the cap bolt. Torque - Chain Tensioner Cap Bolt: 5.0 N·m (0.5 kgf·m, 44 in·lb) Camshaft Chain Tensioner Installation: •Remove the tensioner cap bolt and O-ring. •While compressing the push rod, turn it clockwise with a suitable screwdriver until the rod stopped. CAUTION Do not turn the rod counterclockwise at installation. This could detach the rod and the tensioner cannot be reinstalled. •While holding the rod in position with a suitable push rod holder plate install the tensioner on the cylinder block.
