    Hi, I am about the pay the balance on this Sprint GT1050.
    At 1 min 14 ish, I am hearing a slight tapping noise, or am i imagining it?


    I know these triples can sound like a bag of spanners but I had to do the timing chain at 30k on one a few years back.

    Valve clearance service apparently done 2k miles ago.

    I will probably go ahead, but I thought I should just check with you wise biker dudes before I drop the cash.

    Thanks

    Sounds more like something vibrating rather than an engine tapping noise. Wouldn't be too concerned.

    @Stu9000 It sounds fair to me. But my computer doesn't pick it up great.

    It coincides with the camera closing in and focusing on a less covered piece of the engine. Sounds like a bit of clutch rattle. fine to me. I should just point out that it isn't red, mind......

    Sounds like my 2011. Don't really hear anything amiss.
