    G'day, My name is Barry, I'm new to 2fiftycc. ^_^

    So recently my ZXR250 was knocked over by a car while I went to buy some stuff. Notice it has a loud tapping sound coming from somewhere in the engine while riding. Etc if I speed up the tapping goes faster but if I slow down it slows down as well. Extremely worried :(

    SORRY If this is a common thing, But new to the bike scene, more of a car person! :)

    Hi Barry, welcome to 250cc.
    Has the cover on the end of the engine been bent?

    Nope, but a friend of mine thinks it could be the chain tensioner..

    CCT and chain is a common problem with ZXR ..... have a look thru the threads here on wat to do


    Or just push the bike over so it lands on the other side and see if it goes away ..... :oops: :lolsign:
