Hi all.
My brother and I both own ZX9Rs. His 00 model has been developing a nasty knock in the top end, it seems to be more prominant on the left hand side and only when the engine is put under load.
It started about 2-3 months ago has been gradually getting worse, he took it into his dealer recently and they said it is "normal" and not to worry about it but it has continued to get worse.
I think it sounds like the vavle clearances but wouldn't it be noisy all the time and not just under load? we plan to pull it down tomorrow and have a look.
Are valve clearances a common prob with the 00 models? Has anyone come across a similar ploblem?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
