After a lovely long dry summer I finally bit the bullet & took the lump out of my 12,000 mile fzs600, the local dealer and a number of mates were all flummoxed by the noise, so after checking all the usuals timing chain, valve caps etc I began stripping the engine, just hoping to find the source of the noise.
To my amazement once the barrel was off no3 big end was as loose as a dick in a bucket, somewhat relieved to have found the cause of the light knock, but very surprised to find on such a low mileage lump.
No other obvious signs of oil starve & no play or wear in any of the other journals.
Any thoughts ??.....…
