Any Kawasaki engine with the Kleen system on click and tap. Hate the sound of them, it made me paranoid about my engine blowing up.

The gearboxes are a little clunky and noisy but saying that the ZXR did eat itself when a new rattle developed. I gave it a fistful of revs and it all ended in smoke, flames and oil pissing everywhere.

The 7 has a few different noises depending on the temperature of the engine, all benign I hope.

Had a zxr400 with a noisey engine. I fitted a new clutch, did the valve clearances, camchain and tensioner.

It was still noisey.

My zzr 400 was noisey, my zx9r is noisey.

Think its a kwak thing.

ZX6R F3, valve clearances in spec, carbs balanced, CCT changed rattles like buggery. Ride it hard and you won't have to hear the noise, just the airbox and exhaust singing in unison Wink

Stick a K&N and a stubby can on it. That cured my engine rattle.

Well I cant hear it anymore.
