I have a 1978 SR500 Yamaha with 9800 miles that I am working on. I got it running after sitting since 2012. It runs good except for a tinging noise that sounds like it could be top end somewhere. I set valves and timing chain but made no difference. I have listened to a couple different ones online and a couple of them had the same tinging noise mine has others didn't. So, is this a common issue and what is it? I did take it to a bike shop and when they have time they will investigate, but If I could give them any help, I would like that. I have a 562 Velorex sidecar I really would like to hook it to this winter. Thanks JohnB
