Engine rattle/rumble on 2000 - GhostCat - 03-08-17
Hi I met up with a friend who has the exact same bike as me and I was amazed at how much smoother and quieter his engine was, I don't know what to do to mine to make it sound so good. Mine "chugs" a bit on tickover and there is a rattle coming from below the camshaft. The thing is, mines only done 10,000 miles and his has done over 40k. I know my carb rubbers were replaced last year. Regular oil changes etc. Standard exhaust (he has aftermarket sports)
Sorry if this seems a dumb question, hoping someone has had the same problem.

idle speed it too low on both. Should be 1250rpm.
Also, after doing the rubbers, did you balance the carbs?

Hi, I didn't do the rubbers, (bought bike in January) but I just found out my neighbour has a carb tuner ! Yes the revs sit at 1100 ish, I will adjust

could also be the camchain adjuster is about to adjust another click - might just sort itself in a few hundred miles
i cant recall one ever siezing up and not adjusting on a fazer but its always a possibility especially as its a 2k and only done 10k so not had much oil fired around it
-how do people only do 10k in 17 years - i do 15k+ a year (but dont tell my insurance company)

I have just sold my CBF1000 and bought an FZS600 to replace it. I only did 5K in 7 years on that.

Mine's done 45k and sounds exactly like your mate's and nothing like yours...maybe the tone changes with age as more parts wear in?
Re: Engine rattle/rumble on 2000 - daviee - 04-08-17
as most say its prolly about to self adjust the cam chain , nothing i would worry about mine has 32 k on it and sounds like your mated your mileage is prolly about the time it will adjusts

it could be exhuast caskets , is there a rattle when you accelerate hard

Is that what they bury knackered exhausts in?

Hi
borrowed my neighbours Carbtune and balanced the carbs yesterday, this was before:
[smg id=3024 type=preview align=left]
idles better now (increased to 1250 rpm)
Still got a clonky noise though, not as smooth as mates !
