Hi guys!
Went to my dealer today to get them to listen to a "new" sound my bike has started making:
The best way I can describe the noice would be a bolt rattling within the motor in a certain rev range just above idle. And the sound only comes when the engine is hot.
The dealer said it had to be the cam chain tensioner, which normally is self-adjusting (as far as I understood). The noice have been identified to come from the right hand side of the motor, below the engine top. It's not valve noice as the sound only appears at a certain rev range. It's not the clutch, no loose bolts anywhere, not the exhaust headers, no vibrating cables or anything like that. It got to be the cam chain.
They wouldn't describe to me what I should look for if I wanted to try to fix this myself, but they indicated it would take them half an hour to to the job.
Have anyone here experienced the same noice and dealt with it? As I said: Bolt or marbles thrown down the motor... It's kind of loud too, and it's defo not the other "normal" sounds the FZ6 makes If any of you guys have a "how to" on this one, I'd apreciate it enormously! Thanks:thumbup:
