Proper rattle. But as I say, completely disappears when warm and sounds happy.
I checked the exhaust header and it's perfect so it's not coming from there.
Haven't tried pulling clutch in but will have a go tomorrow, although I feel like I would have noticed as I tend to hold clutch at stops rather frequently.
In the case that it is piston slap, is that something I should be worried about? Should I expect total failure at some point soon?
Valve clearances were never checked on the front, only the rear when new cam chain was put in which was a joke cost of £700 alone!
I don't know, what do you reckon cost would be for clearance check on the front? I'm not in a hurry as I've got the Bandit now but I don't know whether I'm up for spending another £300+ trying to sort it  |
Sounds like the other Cam-chain worn to me.I wouldn't like to use the engine for too long with that kind of noise.
Here's how my SV sounds with the Slip-on exhaust in a Metal garage recorded on a Smart phone,
