Cam chain buzzing noise

[darrsi]

give the bike some beans on a run to see if that makes it click on a notch. If not, put it in gear and rock the bike back and forth a bit with the engine off .

Haha, I said exactly the same to my mate earlier, and even rocked the bike in gear in front of him while I was there.
I also told him that the short runs I do can prolong cam chain noise before the tensioner clicks another notch so need to give the bike a blast.  :lol


Like I said this is not the normal cam chain noise that I've experienced before, so in the same breath I don't want to cause any further issues by ragging it either.
The mechanic didn't seem too phased about it so weather permitting I'll take it out for a livener tomorrow, although I must say I am rapidly losing faith with the condition of the roads as I've hit potholes recently that were filled with water that have caught me right out, so I won't be going too mad.
