stick a screwdriver on the starter clutch cover and have a listen. they can rattle
will do, thanks.
i do have starting issues sometimes, where battery seems to die for no reason. i can crack bike up fine, ride 10 mins home, park up on the back alley open the gate. get back on and i have nothing, just dead.
guess i'll just have to keep pulling things apart till i find the problem.

after the old screw driver trick, the noise seems to be top / central. mainly concentrated around the tensioner. i seem to be back to cam chain again.
now after that compression check being at 90psi, is it possible that some how the timing is out? or a slack chain would lead to timing being out?
is it at all possible for a tooth to skip and there be slack in the wrong place?
think its time i took the rocker cover off.
