Loud noise appeared (on the left side?) after oil change and coolant drain (Took water pump cover off to drain).

Bike had about 1.4Litres of grey cloudy oil in it and the coolant was also milky. The breather mod a previous owner installed was also gunked up with water and creamy poop that looked like it had not been cleaned in quite a while.

Prior to oil change and coolant drain, the bike was leaking oil from somewhere towards the top of the engine as well as coolant leaking out the rad/hoses.

Cleaned it all out, put the recommended 1Litre of oil (10W40 Putoline) in the bike after flushing as much of the old oil out as possible.

Drain plug and oil screen had a few shavings in but nothing major. Only ran it for a few seconds, didn't wanna do anymore damage than what may have been done since whatever the previous owner had done.

Does anyone recognise this sort of noise? Sounds like it is down on the left of the engine and is as loud as the engine itself. Here is the video:



I had been riding the bike for a few days prior to the oil change and had no noises like this whatsoever.

Sorted the noise, turns out it was the starter relay solenoid clicking as it was sending alternating current back on itself. Had to pull the wire to the starter button to get it to stop. Now need to wire the bike in a way that the starter button and the koso speedo work at the same time. With the way it is right now, it's either one or the other. The people who had the bike before me really made a mess of things.
