Cam chain buzzing noise

[darrsi]

Hi.


Have u removed the Ignition cover on the right side of the crank to confirm u defo have a slack chain, also a good time to ensure nowts come loose in there, if it is a slack chain & the tensioner refuses to click up a notch, u can ease it up a notch with a screwdriver up inside the cover, push chain away from the tensioner a tad & see if she clicks up a notch, not the correct way obviously, but it'll confirm if it's actually chain noise you're hearing if this quietens it down, OEM tensioners are a bit iffy, most of us invest in a manual tensioner, they all wear out at some point, as do chains.

I haven't removed that cover and I'm not gonna get a chance today either, but like I said I had cam chain rattle before for up to a year so I know what that noise is all about, and it isn't the same noise at all, plus that older noise isn't really there either.
Bit weird as well that it only makes a noise when the bike has warmed up, whereas when I had cam chain rattle before it was instant on start up.


I don't know if this is relevant but I'll mention it anyway, when I replaced my clutch plates a few months back I changed my oil due to an accidental spillage when the clutch cover was off, and I pulled out about 3 litres of oil from the sump.
I only put 2.7 litres back in though to play it safe (2.5 litre sump) as unfortunately my sump glass window is not clear anymore so I can't casually check my oil at a glance.
I change it every 4000 miles anyway so it's no big deal.
But I'm wondering if having more oil before may have drowned out the noise?
Clutching at straws a bit here, but I'm keeping open minded for all possibilities.
