Tink from the engine 3 Years, 12 Months ago  
Sometimes when i just hit the gas i can hear from the engine a tink kind of sound. I think it is coming from the front cylinder and i checked bolts and nothing seems to be loose. It doesnt always happen but like i said it sounds like a tink (maybe a peice of metal just touching something) Any ideas?

Hey,
Does it tink when you come on the throttle with the stroke of the engine?

when the spark plug fires or with the sound of the exhaust. I had a simular prob and mine was the crashbar rattling against the frame at the top

I have a backfire in the carb when the engine is idleing and I blip the throttle. Is the sound similar to a pop?

Roadies like to cruise at low rpms, but they hate being lugged hard on acceleration at too low of RPM's. If yer lugging her hard at low rpm's, she'll ping like a bugger, and that's hard on the engine!
Try shifting to a lower gear and see if that "tink" goes away.
