Hi, having ridden my '78 for 800 miles since I bought it i know how it normaly sounds but after the last ride of 80 miles it now has a jingly noise. This can't be heard while riding but is very noticable on tickover. It sounds like the large gears behind the kickstart have backlash but is a lighter but loud sound. I have recently changed oil from 20/50 to 10/40. The next to be checked will be tappets but I don't think it's them rattling. Any ideas will be welcome as this is my first XS and it's a good bike.
