Hi all,
Weeks ago, I got my fiancee a 2001 ninja 250, with only 2500 miles on it.
I couldnt beat the price ($1600), had to get it.
It makes a horrible noise when the engine is idling, and when its revving up (it probably makes this noise all throughout the rpm band...but maybe its drowning out by rev noise)
Some people have said the valves are out of whack, while the dealer said "its normal for a small 250 engine to sound this way...some are louder than others."
There is a tremendous amount of "clicking" or tapping <<<to put it lightly when its started up...and it seems to get worse as the ride progresses.
what do you all think?
Thanks
EDIT: the bike runs and performs extremely well, this noise does not hinder its ability to perform
