Hi all,

I've just recently (July06) bought a ZXR 400 1991 L model grey import in blue. Its my first bike and not a bad 1, (not having anything to compare to)

I'm really concerned about the tapping i get right on 6,000 rpm? can anyone help?

I'm also quite worried about the brake light it only lights up for the rear brake (and dull's the headlight a bit), if i pull the front brake the rear light does nothing?

Help??

hi mate, welcome to the forum, the tapping is more than likely your valve clearances so may need shimming, as for the lights, check your brake lever switch, its probably just the connections need cleaning, they've probably corroded up somewhere.

Hi mate, many thanks, i'll check that on the front brake, i always thought it should work.

I'll get some pic's posted when i take some.

thanks again

Jonny

if it don't work it will fail the MOT.

mine always taps, i swear it never used to before that mech done all the aork, he did the valve shims etc. and it sound like a diesel truck now, tappy tappy tappy tappy. ticka....ticka....ticka....ticka....ticka. but i think that normal n i no the clutch is suppose to rattle but that noise is slowly driving me to suicide at the moment

the zxr clutch rattle is famous mate learn to love it.
