Default top end clicking on the C50

If you experience a "clicking" noise in the top endof your C50 here's what's going on: the cam chain tensioner is a ratchet type and it's stuck... put the bike in gear and rev it up to the rev limiter - REV IT.. the chain cam tensioner will ratchet itself up to the next position essentially tightening itself up. The noise will be gone.

DO NOT REV THE BIKE FOR A LONG TIME PLEASE!! Just a few seconds should do it-
