Engine parts kit?

Is there a parts kit from Kaw if someone wanted to do an overhaul?
I know I could check the repair manual and list everything I see, but a kit part number with everything in it would be nice.

Engine at 72k and got that ticking sound in the top end. Quiets down at higher revs, but noisy when idling.

Thanks

Have you ever changed out your tensioners? Even though you have 72K, I doubt things like cams rings and such are in need of replacement.

So far only engine related was a clutch replaced about 1k ago.

[/quote]If, after 72 K all you have is a bit of tapping in the top end, I'd say don't ev en worry about it. These Big Vs are noisy as hell anyway. Do like BD says and try the extenderts on the cam chain tensioners. If that don't fix it, change the oil and ride it till it dies. My Nomad has 17k on it and has been noisy since I got it. Took it on a 5K trip last year with no worries. These things are bullet proof.
Good riding and good weather to you.

Yeah that is more than likely what it needs...
