6,000 RPM tapping?? Front brake = no rear brake light??

Jonnyboy · Post by **Jonnyboy** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:31 am

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.

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
