Hi All
Just joined this forum
Ok
Have a ZX 1100 1993 and i love this PIG
So when i bought this i had NFI of previous owner and it sat in garage for long time.
So changed oil - Synthetic and new filter.
Laid it over at 2kmph Yea very embarrassed was with a really young crowd as well LOL
But when i got it up it sounded fine
Sat around and chatted for 10 mins started it up and had a continuous knock.
Took out Cam Chain tensioner and it was stuck. Freed it up and put back. Started it up and most knock gone but still a clack like a valve is gone.
I feel that as it is old 1993 and has 11500 kms on the clock it is th wrong oil.
I am going to get a new filter drain overnight and fill with mineral.
I have done about 200 kms since oil change and was not happy with the sound.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
I will post follow up after oil change.
Just trying to add to the knowledge base.
PS
Do i have to take the front forks off to do a oil change on the front forks. Dips in the corner and feels soft. I do like a hard front.
