How to fix camchain rattle.

Hi all,

Wanna hear something wierd?

My bike has had an annoying tapping/rattle as long as i've had it.I have removed both the tensioners and refitted to no avail.Anyway,the other day i left work and an annoying guy that rides a bandit at my work decided he would take the same route as me and tried to race me all the way home.So i got ****ed off and rode it like rossi to get away from him.In the process riding the revs all the way up to the limiter before changing gear for the first time since i've owned it.

So i start the bike today and for some reason it is now quieter than it ever has been????
All the way to work and back it sounded like a brand new engine,quiet,smooth with no rattles or tapping and basically how i always wanted it to be.I have to admit when i use to hear the tapping,it always sounded like it was coming from the exhaust system somewhere but anyhow its gone!!!

So if your bike rattles,Ride it like you stole it!

SVs are just rattly things i think you just have to live with it really

i dont think it was Confushious who said "Two camchains are twice as noisy"

Must be a common thing, theres a bandit riding total **** who works on the same industrial estate as me, couple of us with bikes at work have commented on his riding style.
