So i was backing my car up into a spot today and my dad comes up before the car turns off and tells me that I need some oil.....Im thinking to myself no I dont I just have the oil changed like 1000 miles ago so I get out of the car and he points out that the car is making like a soft tapping noise coming from what the sounds like the UIM near the front of the car like inbetween the 2 cylinders on the right. Its not really loud and i never really noticed it because I have always have clutch chatter....I had my dad sit inside and push the clutch in and it continued to have the noise. I checked the oil and it is sitting at max. I am not throwing any codes....I had 4 codes 2 weeks ago. 3 were related to O2 sensors which I just fixed with the MIL eliminators and 1 was due to a camshaft sensore which when I reset the car never came back.

I have been reading up and found that our cars have noisy lifters???
or that it could have spun a bearing????

What would you all suggest to try and narrow down what the problem could be....

I am really hoping that it is nothing major because I am supposed so shell out about $2,000 monday for a ninja 500R plus another $1,000 in tax gear and mods.

any new is good news I guess other then the fact that I have to get saftey and emissions done this week too.
