Bought a near mint condition 2007 gz250. After it was delivered and the deal was done, first I thought it was out of oil? Gotta stand the bike up straight to get the reading . Second the tapping noise was very disturbing. I changed the oil and rode for a good week , 500miles . Still tapping sounded like the rod was knocking ..so with 3.4k on the speedo , I had the valves re set . Very excited �� . A Week later she's ready . It was louder than before . No clue says the mechanic ��.so I parked it for 6 months . Battery died, got a new one added Lucas to the fuel , and cranked her up one more time just to be sure and she runs perfect ! Except for the tapping ? So after finding GZFourms and some youtube I discovered this is normal ��. So now I know regular gas, and that's it . I put another 200 miles in few days and she's tapping perfectly lol go listen on YouTube it's what they sound like.
