Engine Noise

Hi Guys!

Hope everyone's enjoying the season!

I do have a new issue which as recently started. I've noticed when I start my bike after it's been sitting, I get a "tink, tink tink"/ or clicking sounds coming from my engine. After it warms up for a minute or so it goes away. Is this something I need to worry about?

Also how long is the oil supposed to last before it show's up dark/black in the peep hole? I changed my oil back in March...and it's noticeably dark already...

Thanks as always in advance.

Thanks guys,

The oil level is at the top of the site. I have no idea as to the last valve adjustment. I've owned it for year as of March. As for the weather...it's usually been around the 52-60 in the AM and late PM when I've noticed the sound. I am running Maxima Maxum 4 Premium 4-Cycle Oil 10-40.

I think its normal, mine does the same thing. I noticed it today. Only does it when I first start it. Just dont rev it when you turn it on.

Oh and yeah mine only does it when its around 60 degrees, dam thats cold for me tho over here its like 70 degrees by 7 am.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll accept it as normal. Yea 60 degrees here is considered warm by 7am this time of year, . I can't wait for warmer weather..but it's worth the ride in to work and ride home.
