Hi Gnasher, thanks for all your messages on this topic. They’ve been very helpful.
An update on the cam chain noise:
I’ve finally been able to get my fazer registered (I just recently got my full license and can now ride it). It has been taken out for a 280km ride, some parts which were quite spirited. I got up to 10k+ rpm quite a few times and I tried to keep the revs in the upper range in the twisties. Unfortunately the cam chain noise remains. Here’s an updated video of the sound [size=78%]https://youtu.be/2wT8M6de9y8[/size]
After my ride I tried to fix the problem by manually pushing the tensioner in by 1 click. It didn’t budge. I took out the tensioner completely and bumped it along a click but when putting it back in there was clearance between the tensioner and the engine block. I didn’t want to force it and I figured that the cam chain wasn’t ready for the next click.
At present the tensioner is on the 9th click with 3 clicks left.
I’m not sure where to go from here. Should I go for some more rides?
Could the problem be something else or might my cam chain be actually worn out?
It’d be great to hear what you or anyone else reckons.
Cheers
