Cam Chain Tensioner?
« on: 03 May 2016, 08:37:44 pm »
Had an annoying, tinny, buzzy type sound coming from the front end of my bike for a while now.

Checked all fairings, bolts etc and cant find anything loose. It does seem to happen more when its warm and at lowish rpms.

It seems to coming from around the camchain area but cant be certain so was possibly going to attempt to remove and reset the tensioner.

Is it an easy job to do on the FZ6? Cant really find much info about them on this model.

The bike is an 04 with over 30k on the clock but cant find any paperwork to say cam chain has ever been replaced or anything like that.

Any opinions?

Thanks in advance.

Well, had the chain tensioner out and all looks ok, feels like theres plenty of tension there and piston sliding in and out fine.

My noise almost definitely sounds like its coming from the top around the cam sprocket area. Could the cam chain be causing this or anything else around that vicinity that could cause a vibrating/clicky sound at around 3k-ish rpm?

Thanks in advance for any help :)
