still trying to adjust to my zx10r. it seems that ever since i changed oil (used Royal purple synth) the engine got noisier. I dont know what kind of oil was in it before, although it seemed the same weight when i drained it (a rather subjective observation lol). The motor ticks louder now, especially right when you start it. once it gets to 170+ degrees it quiets down to an almost un-noticeable level (i still hear it though).
Is this something to be expected with these bikes? Does the oil have anything to do wiht it? I know kawi's are noisy... but
