Hi do you still have this, I am after the header pipes

Guys,
I fitted the new cam chain tensioner.
Problem fixed.
Thanks for all the advice.

James

Nigel,
Good advice thanks.
I am significantly less concerned.
I will fit the tensioner etc and let you know

Nigel
Thanks for the reply.
Was your rattle just on one side?
If mine was the same on both cylinders I would be far less concerned.
Cheers

I cant see it be valve clearances, these get quieter when hot not louder.
I am going to change the tensioner at the weekend and I will check valve clearances while I am at it.

It starts once the bikes warmed up after a few minutes and then gets louder with engine speed.I would have thought that a cam chain noise would be worst when stone cold, but Im not familiar with these engines. I will record ...

Just checking the rear wheel size - mines 5.5" and has a 180 tyre, I know some are larger.

Hi
I will have these when I get the stand !
Let me know if that's all ok.
Cheers

Hi,
That's very generous, I will take it off your hands if that's ok.
When do you need it collecting ?
I can get it Saturday morning if that's OK - I am near Coventry on Friday night.

James

Hi Guys, Just bought one of these and when it gets warm the left hand cylinder sounds like it has a little end gone. Now Im not familiar with these bikes so not sure if that's a normal fault or if I should look for other issues - valve rocker faults ? I read that push rods can be an issue. Bike is a...
