Going through this now. Front has come out and is looking quite clean and well oiled. The rear is a bastard to get to. Need a socket extender, so hopefully tomorrow. Had a proper listen and rattle seems to be coming from the rear cylinder.
@ElephantBreath Yep, Burwins lot. They too their time and came out in the pouring rain to have a listen. Didn't ask me for a single penny; just confirmed that it was cam chain noise.
I really appreciate the offer. If It ends up being more than the tensioners, I'll give you a should if that's ok?
@BrickMan The Brurwins lot have been nothing but great. I've yet to know a workshop that lent me an oil filter removal tool with nay a question asked on the promise that I'll return it.
I trust them well enough as people.
On the other hand, totally understand what you mean. First workshop I went to in Kilburn did fuck all and charged through the teeth. bike didn't even start on multiple cranks; their advise was 'just roll more throttle' and went back inside.
My vote is for sticky Cam Chain tensioner too....I've replaced them with manuals on just about every Suzuki I've had...and my mates DRZ. Easy fix hopefully!
