Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 KAWASAKI ZX6R. FROM DAY ONE IT HAS HAD AN INCREDIBLY AUDIBLE VALVE TICKING NOISE. THE NOISE IS SO BAD THAT EVEN AT 6000 RPM WITH A HELMET ON THE TICKING CAN BE HEARD. I HAVE TAKEN THE BIKE TO AUTHORIZED KAWASAKI REPAIR SHOPS 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT CHAIN TENSIONER BUT HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM OF THE TICKING. THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT NORMAL. I HAVE EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT KAWASAKI BUT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND JUST RESPOND BY SAYING TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE COVER GASKET 3 TIMES BECAUSE IT KEEPS LEAKING. *TR
