New noise on my Goldilocks bike !

Valve guides?.. did it smoke or use oil?
mine sounds a bit more internal I'd say?
So whats up with the guides?.. can't of worn out by now can they??

Nope. No smoke, valves seating fine, no loss of power or oil.
To be honest I’ve used a generic reference for the issue. I’ve not been able to speak with the tech to understand exactly the issue. When I get it back I’ll get a full explanation and post it.
I’m pretty chilled out the matter. I’m confident it will be sorted

good luck, and I hope it is sorted. but if it is the same noise as mine, I'd be sure it's not the valve guides... rod slap, piston slap maybe... but can't see how the vales to guides would make that clatter... even if they had a huge gap.. but then the seats would show issues?..
Will be interesting to see what they say... make sure you get the full story!!
