Are you an experienced motorbike mechanic or have motorbike mechanical knowledge?

Question

Im looking at buying a Cagiva raptor 1000. It has 15K on the clock and looks impressive. Only thing is that it sounds a little bit tappety (i could VERY SLIGHTLY hear the tappets when i test rode it) It's nothing that stands out and I'm just wondering if it is normal for a naked bike to sound this way. My only experience is with full fairing bikes so I wonder if the fairings cover this sound?

If it is not normal, what does this mean, is it expensive to fix?

thanks for answers...

You should ask this question in the Cars and Transportation  > Motorcycles section.
But Im guessing your listening to the Injectors not the tappets. 
from the fuel injection system
Nothing to worry about.
The people in the other section will be more help.

Get an older bike yet no longer too previous. Get a Clymer or Haynes provider handbook to bypass with the bike. significant!!!! make an effort TO examine AND comprehend THE handbook. Then initiate by doing slightly of your guy or woman paintings. initiate small. do no longer attempt some thing like thoroughly disassembling the engine suitable away. this is how basket case motorcycles are created. until eventually now commencing a activity, re-examine and comprehend the element of the provider handbook that explains the activity. As you learn the greater straight forward taks you may flow directly to greater complicated initiatives. With a provider handbook on your bike and a few palms on journey maximum people who're particularly routinely prone will discern it out.
