So a few days after if filled by bike with water (got it out now running) she started ticking. The cam chain doesnt have much play and is tight. and it starts right up so I dont think its the valves. But what do I know.. Just so many problems after she took in water
The ticking noise is likely to be the piston/rings. It is unlikely the water will have damaged the cam chain. You will know more when you get the head off
