  • I’m sure that’s simple but I’ve not a clue what I’m doing so garage might be the way forward. Would a worn timing chain be a cause? Valve clearance?
    These are things I’m seeing with a quick google.
    Bike is 21k miles old. 2007

  • Valve clearance might need checking, but it won’t make a lot of noise. A weak camchain tensioner definitely does - if the camchain is on the right side of the engine that’s probably it. You normally have to lift the tank and pull the airbox to get at them so if you’ve no where comfortable to do it, shop time. It’s a very easy fix though if you do have a shed.

  • Yeah I believe it’s on the right side. Nope nowhere to do it, bike lives on the road. Might as well have them change the oil and filter too I suppose
