Developed a rattling?

Post by Wabby »

Would I be right in thinking that a 'ticking' rattle is just the cam chain?

Noticed it tonight while out. (My lid is quiet well padded, so very quiet and I don't normally hear it).

Only seems to be audible to me when at 9-10k RPM or over, and when banked over (So I'm closer to the front end/side)

Any ideas?

doesnt sound like cam chain, thats normally a rattle at around 4k as you blip the throttle and the revs change from rising to falling ..

possibly a header pipe, or a worn tappet/follower/rocker whatever you want to call 'em
