weird rattle
At about 4k revs i can hear a weird noise coming from the engine, sounds like a rattle or something loose buzzing about. Is it normal?
If not anybody got any ideas and has it happened to you? Main thing is, is it going to be costly lol? Last edited by ljharmitt; 20-11-07 at 12:51 PM. Reason: mistakes |

Re: weird rattle
it's a bit hard to tell from the video but I'd be taking that rattle seriously.
As Paws suggests, do a search on cam chain adjusters, they tend to seize up. If this gets too bad it can be very expensive. Does your bike have the right amount of oil in it? and how often do you check this?

Re: weird rattle
Cant see how to check oil as dont have a dipstick or window?? How do you do it and if there is a window where is it?
I think its the cam chain tensioner, it stops at about 6k and starts at 4? Do you think its serious |

Re: weird rattle
