Sounds a bit rattly, but may just be between clicks on the tensioner.My bike rattled for a good 8 months or more then one day went silent just after starting it, i thought there was something wrong.I don't think you've got anything to worry about, it's just a bit annoying that's all.
My bike has 74k on the clock. It definitely sounds like a chain rattle noise in the engine. Is it expensive to get replaced or easy to do at home? Otherwise the bike is running fine, still pulls extremely well when required etc.
Would it be ok to ride until the end of the year if I did not get the camchain replaced? I do about 2000 miles per year, it's ridden daily to work but its not a long journey, 15 minutes away on the bike.
If it is not an easy home job then I would have to get the garage to do it as i am not that great at the harder jobs on engines and my luck with this bike and me working on it has been bad. I bought this bike for £800 a year and a half ago, I just need it to be rideable until the end of the year when I will be able to buy something else with my xmas bonus money, probably another fazer. Are you able to answer 2 questions for me darris?how much on average do you think the going rate would be for a garage to sort the camchain? Would it be ok to ride until the end of the year if I did not get the camchain replaced?
