I have a 2007 ZX6R and it makes the same noise. It quiets down once its warmed up. Definitely the CCT. Its completely normal for these bikes and nothing to worry about. If it bothers you that much get a manual cct, try installing a new OEM cct, or one click trick it.
Nothing is wrong with your bike mate, sounds sweet as, even through the mic which picks up everything. Depending on mileage and whether it has been done before, you could check you valve clearances and see if they need adjusting, time consuming but not as hard as it seems.
just heard the mileage, stop being paranoid and enjoy the bike, valve clearances on this should not need doing for another 7k+ miles. Also just to add, it is impossible for these auto tensioners to over tighten, but they can fail, hence fitting a manual tensioner to my ZX9r (same tensioner stock).
Hello man. I have a quick question. I tried contacting you trough the slk forum but jeff kicked me out because mine is an clk... So my question is: Im aiming for higher rpms in my pre face 192hp m111. I have bought a standalone ecu, harder valve springs, saab brown injectors and i plan on installing an evo head + intake and TB for the higher compression and better flow. My concern is the bolt compatability (i heard bolts are ok) but my main concern is if the valves will hit the pistons and can i fit the pre face camshafts whitout destroying the valves in tge pistons. Do you know anything about that? This is information i can only possibly get from you so i am so lucky to be able to contact you!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Sorry to hear that, unfortunately I'm not long that active on the forum due to time. So the Evo head I haven't had any experience with unfortunately but I am looking to fit a Evo head to my turbo projects, now the pistons between the two look similar but one thing to pay attention to is the valve relief cut outs in the pistons the N/a has four and the kompressor has two, so on the early pre 97 if I remember from my earliest build the valve reliefs are on the exhaust side and 97 onwards moved to the intake side, that's if my memory serves me correctly it's been a few years, I believe the 97 onwards including Evo keeps the valve reliefs on the intake side of the piston. Now I have been told it fits by multiple people, however because I haven't done it myself yet I wouldn't want to say conclusively that it does. The issue with the Na is the flat top/domed pistons leave little margin for error, but honestly I don't see why it wouldn't fit on a kompressor however if you have clearance issues you should be able to use m111 Evo pistons in the pre Evo block just make sure of your piston diameter, however for revs you are better to just use a full M111 Evo for this build as from the factory it was designed to rev higher than the pre Evo engine, this is the reason mercedes lightened so much but also I believe the block has a refined structure to reduce the risk of cracking at higher rpms, the earlier M111,M104s are prone to cracking from Rpm related fatigue. But the earlier engines can rev on road cars it's more drifting that tends to see these failures with clutch kicks and high rpm. But with a kompressor engine the pistons are dished with two valve reliefs which is a lot easier to match the head to, slight differences in cam timing but I believe they should clear the pistons. Unfortunately I can't help anymore than that as I haven't physically done it yet, but I hope the information helps 👍
I got an 06 636, look forward to more 636 content!
