    you dont have anything on your keys, like other keys or clips, because i have one of clips which tinkers, could be but, then could be brakes or lose part.

    So does the sound change with speed? What speed are you going when you hear the tinker or is it tinkle?

    Now this might sound dumb but many a noise like that has been from crap inside a tyre - loose rubbery stuff even, but if it was that you'd only hear it as you push the bike along, any more speed and it goes away coz all the stuff is flung against the tyre.
    Cheers

    a stone caught in the tread of the front wheel can make an odd sound, check that there are no stones or a nails etc that might be caught in tyre.

    My hearing direction is a little out of kilter, it was coming from the left hand side of the bike, took it tot the bike shop and they rode it at low speed and said where they thought it was coming from and what it was. It was the Chain, only heard on opposing throttle, had a tight spot, which is odd cos its was loose, so i learnt something yesterday....

    If your chain is loose then the extra pressure on it when acclereating causes it to strench and hence causes tight spots. Which in turn wreck your sprockets. So it wasn't really the front end then
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    While we are in a fault finding mood sometimes a loose exhaust flange is the reason for a "tink tink" noise, quite mechanical sounding, caused by exhaust gases bypassing the seal.

    End of lesson.
