Can you help me with startproblem suzuki vs700. Sometimes it start with now problems, sometimes not. I hear som ticking noise. I have changes start relay

The TPS would be what I would do had that problem once myself solved the problem. as for the ticking noise sounds like a lifter is bleeding down as long as the noise goes away you will be ok. But may I suggest that if you are going to keep the vehicle for awhile longer you might want to have a set of lifters put in it.

The ticking noise could be a faulty hydrulic valve lifter. When last was the oil & filter changed, it coul be that the oil is thick and not going through to the lifters and when it warms up the oil is thin. It could be that the engine is need of an overhaul as 148.000 miles is 238.182 Kilometers and that is a hi milage.

Starter solenoid or just a starter bad, sometimes this comes out of nowhere but usually you can hear it start cranking slow shortly before failure.

Could be many things. Sometimes Exhaust flange joints will get a gap in them and tick. You could be hearing the Injectors, or hydraulic lifters.

The exhaust tick and lifter tick both are temperature sensitive as opposed to the injectors.

What you could do is run the engine and drain the oil and put in fresh cold oil. The first few seconds the cold oil will be thicker and if it is a lifter problem, the oil will cushion the noise temporarily until it warms. The exhaust will already be hot, so you will notice a noise on startup. If the noise generates later, its an oil related problem.

The exhaust flange problem can sometimes be heard when backing up and reversing direction. The Torque puts a strain on the pipe joint as the Torque changes from Reverse to Forward.

I hope my Solution is helpful.

thats normal change your oil frequently evry 1000km

try checking the oil sometimes when oil is low u will hear a ticking sound, it is important to maintain all fluid levels at appropriate levels. if ur oil isnt low u could have a time bomb on ur hands.

Try a higher grade octane fuel and see if that eliminates the noise some. Wait til it's almost empty and put the highest grade fuel and drive for a bit and see if you notice a any change. Sometimes the valves get dirty and you start getting a bit of a tap. Also try an additive that removes carbon deposits. Sometimes it's normal when you cold start the vehicle to hear some tapping, but after warm up it should go away.

Are you sure its not an exhaust leak ..? They can sometimes sound like a ticking noise and the noise will change with temperatures of engine.. ? also if you can borrow a stethicope from someone which is used in automotive repair alot (different than what your doctor uses) this will help you pinpoint the problem .. It sounds to me with out hearing it you have a loose rocker arm possably .. If this is the case this is a easy fix and very inexpensive. just figure which side its coming from take the valve cover off and tighten it till it stops ticking and then give it 1/4 turn. Holler if you need more Jerry

The problem is ht leakage . remove the ultar cap of the tube and clean both the tube and cap with wd 40. then reinstall cap using some silicon glue.
this will correct your fault.
