[ts50x0]

hi, my cg125 makes a ticking noise from the engine when i ride it, i just got it serviced and they said nothing, its mainly when i ride it, it rides fine and it doesnt make any rattling noising just a ticking noise.
ive heard this is nothing to worry about as the cg deos make some engine noise as it s acheap and basic engine.
wehat do you recon???
cheers

It's entirely probable that it's the gap between the rocker arm and the valve stem. If so, it's nothing to worry about. I did the clearances on a CG125 according to what Haynes said, and the clicking was really loud.

i wasnt worrying about it but that has put my mind at rest.

Its an old pushrod engine, let it make all the noise it wants to. Change the oil regularly and leave all other maintenance until it stops.

Im quite surprise at that. Anyway that actually makes it better as far as the noise is concerned. It can be made better as people have mentioned, by tightening up the clearances.
