Re: Front end woes
I suppose everywhere has their faults. I tend to try and do work myself on the bike. Had it at Haldane's before and wasn't a fan of the way i was treated.

Re: Forks
Cheers Seeker, Looks like 51130-17GB0 is for an ABS version and as such is missing the top brake hose mount. Last powder coating didn't work well. Obviously a poor job as corrosion underneath caused...

Forks
So the forks lowers in my SV SK6 are pretty horrible and I have been keeping an eye out on ebay for some replacements. Been hoping to pick up some black ones (already got some other tatty silver...

Re: Piston slap or valves?
Here is a video of the engine running nice and quiet compared to the rattle it previously had. I wish I had got a video of it before but it was exactly the same as the OP's in the video they posted....

Re: Piston slap or valves?
Thanks, I'll post a video of it running and it will let people hear what's normal and what's not. I should have taken one of it before, but the OP's link is the exact issue I was having.
Everyone...

Re: Piston slap or valves?
Bikes back together and seems to be running fine, replaced both cam chains, set timing and checked valve clearances, which were all fine, and the rattling noise is gone. Both chains were written in...

Re: Piston slap or valves?
Ok, new chain fitted, just need to get a cylinder head gasket to finish putting the bike back together. Chain guides looked ok however the old chain was a bit worn compared to the new. Hopefully that...

Re: Piston slap or valves?
Bikes mileage is about 66K, yes the rear cam chain is much tighter than the front so I think it's not how it should be and the rattle is definitely the chain being too loose. I guess the best course...

Re: Piston slap or valves?
Ok so the CCT seems to be ok though it is fully extended and not tensioning the chain enough. I figure at this point it's either the chain worn or the tensioner blade that is worn. I can't find any...

Re: Piston slap or valves?
Yeah I need to check the length I guess. There are 16 pins between the marks but the IF and no 2 arrows the manual say should be level with the cylinder head seem to be pointed up slightly.

Re: Piston slap or valves?
I had the same noise as the OP had in their video so thought I would just post on here. Mine didn't stop making the noise when the motor warmed up and I thought it was probably the CCT. Took the...

Re: Rear brake light switch
If it's the same as my SK6 it sits behind the right peg mounting bracket/heel plate. You can see the black wiring coming out the top in this pic. That's the brake light switch. Could be replaced with...
