i am at college and i have a problem with my sv!

it is rattling badly on the front cylinder it slowly got worse as yesterday went on (may day run) . i first thought it could be the shimms. so i asked my teacher at college (where i am doing a motorcycle engeering course) and he thought it could be the cam chain tensioner. so i took off the tank and the air box and took the cam chain tensioner off and cleaned it and put it back on and ran the bike up! and no difference! so i am now on my lunch break asking if anyone has had a similar problem with their sv, when i get back i will check the shimms and the condition of the chain ect.

its a k4 naked with 17557 miles, its standered apart from the 33bhp ecu!

it rides fine but is noisy!

if you have anything to help please let me know!

cheers
