[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 981662, member: 3828"] Wow. Seems your post slipped through the cracks and never got answered. I hope that you got it answered elsewhere. It sounds more like a floppy cam chain from your description than ticking. Hopefully you've already had it diagnosed and corrected. Now that is a very good question. Being a chronic wear issue, one could ride for quite a while with the ticking before the guides wear enough to mess up the valve sealing resulting eventually in loss of compression. But there have been some tickers that have been run for quite a while before being fixed. Clearly all 1st gens are far out of warranty now, so the likelihood that Yamaha would contribute anything towards the repair of a newly discovered ticker is pretty slim. The question might be worthy of a new post and a poll to get the actual mileages people successfully ran tickers before repair captured. [/QUOTE]
