[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 191964, member: 434"] I think you have a much better grasp on the issue than a fair number of newbies first post about. "Right side" as you're looking at the front of the bike? If so, that's left side sitting on the bike and consistent with #1 and #2 being the most common exhaust valves to go. You're right to try and find a dealer with experience. The magic words that the dealer should say to Yamaha are "excessive exhaust valve guide wear" and not "tick". The best way I've heard of confirming is to drop the headers and check for excessive oil in the exhaust ports...especially in the noisy side. [/QUOTE]
