Yes. Mine does and it’s the cct. I ordered a manual one.
Every Yamaha does lol
Yamahas are noisy bro.
I think there was a problem with the fitted cct as they have now changed part. I had to get 1 last week ud83dude2d
Yeah man I got a 18 with about 1800 miles on it and has done it from day one.
Mine was like that made this noise on start up. It was the cct and I just changed it to a manual graves one. Doesn’t make that noise anymore.
Neither my 12 or 13 R1 did what you describe but both had lots of cct-related ticking.
I replaced it with original and its fine now
Cct
This is not how it shoult be.. every time chain tuch a little bit of metal and this is no good on long term.
Cct. Change it.
Just normal in those years, I use to worry about it, did a lot of Klm but never changed never caused trouble
