Does the noise disappear when you pull the clutch in ?
Swarf on the engine drain plug is a VERY bad sign

So,,, Just got to work and half way the bike (xb12s) started making a ticking sort of noise. Parked it up just and had a listen with my helmet off and it sounds like a sowing machine even worse than usual. Seems to be from the push rod side. Its almost like a dry oscillating sounds like a knackered ball race. Run fine no smoke etc Any ideas? Thanks in advance |

Maz just the man I was hoping for a reply from, no noise doesnt go away with clutch in, ive just taken a video on my phone could I send it to you if you have time to listen to it? I used to own an xb years ago and dont remember it being this loud. Cheers |

Think I have found the problem, After doing some digging this bike used to belong to filbertfatknacker, After searching post the drive pump gear failed and he replaced a load of stuff on it obviously without much success. Gutted |
