Cruisin' Guzzisti
My 09 Stelvio has developed a rhythmic ticking, in three's (sounds very similar to the clutch at neutral), at low-revs.It speeds up on acceleration, but is gone over 3000RPM. Doesn't seem massively affected by the temperature of the engine and is sometimes present at neutral, sometimes not.
Bike has around 18,000 miles on the clock; valves have been checked under 200mi ago (thought the noise was related; exhaust valves were a bit too open, but the noise is back). Engine is on flat tappets.
I've read that no noise is a bad thing, and that earplugs are best worn when diagnosing Guzzi noises. Am I worrying unnecessarily, or is there something else I could check, or is this standard, ie will develop over time and is normal
