Took my '17 plate RS with about 14000 miles for its pre end of warranty inspection. They said that there was a ticking noise from both heads. Took it back in yesterday for them to investigate and they reckon that both heads need replacing, suggesting wear in cam shaft mountings
Must admit that I hadn�t noticed it, possibly because this is my first boxer engine so I may not have recognised an irregular noise, also I wear earplugs when riding which is most of the time that the engine is running.
Fortunately it�s still in warranty (just)
Anyone else had similar?
