Tappet noise indicates that there is gap between the rocker and the Valve..this needs to be adjusted properly,because if it become more ,then engine will starve and start to get heated,beside the rocker and valve going bad...
If it is Knocking then you need to check upon the petrol purity, and shift gears around 3 K RPM, and not lug the engine..ie., drivimg bike at higher gears at lower RPM below 2.5 K to 3 K RPM.

Sir..even i too suffer with the same problem. I could hear some ticking sound from the engine when it is in the idling..If I accelerate it vanishes..During the first service i informed about it to the SVC guys and they told that it was rectified. But two days after the service the noise appeared. also, listening to a moron at the service centre who said that these are very minor problem and no need to worry about it, I drove my bike around 1200kms with this noise. yes...my bike gets heated usually and i can feel it in both of my legs..its time for 2nd service and i will surely insist them on this issue! thanks for clearing sir!!

If the ticking sound goes off with mild revving then the adjustment is minimal..the reason for the engine heating is the crap HH 10w30 oil,.... change it to any JASO MA2 20w40 oil and see...bike will run without much heating at even 110 Kmph.

I thought you were posting pics of stem oil seals and core components and only to find full blown ZMA pics.

Hope you are satisfied with change and happy to go.

History of my bike + Probs. am facing.

Bought 3k'kms ago. Changed cam tensioner @ 2.5k. Reached 3k today. Facing CHIL CHIL sound from today. SVC says its valve noise.

And one more query.
I have no idea for what reason, but when I went to fix my crash guard, the guys messed with my clutch free play.
Now every time my bikes been static and after that when I turn her on and try to shift to 1st she fakes it, and as soon as I accelerate she comes back to neutral. I know this's a common issue on ZMA's but now am facing this way more than usual, say every time I power on my bike.

Yeah and one more thing. Say like 1 out of 50 times when I downshift from 5~1, everything goes smooth till 2 but when I try to shift to 1 the teeth start biting and grinding(like when we try to shift gears in a car while only applying 1/2 clutch) and bounces back to neutral or 2nd.

Hope I've been clear enough. Thanks in advance guys.

engine turns off

my bike shuts down suddenly even after 20+ kms riding when its in idling. It wont start unless i turn off the ignition and turn on again . It this a ignition timing prob or something else .

Ashwin had 6Ah battery on his new ZMA-R and used 55/60W OEM Bulb and Roots Windtone along without any issues.

Dunno about that - but as per my knowledge , W=amp x volt. And 55w H/L + 20w tail light => 6AH .The battery has to be charged as fast as it is being drained . Maybe his riding style is compensating for the battery drain .
A 6Ah MF battery can be placed under the seat.hehe.

but what I have is a 7 AH !

Check your clutch free play . .might be that what causes it .
Hope I've been clear enough. Thanks in advance guys.
