Download the service manual from WWW.carlsalter.com use the sticky any problems post up here before you go any further. This place has helped me loads in the few months. Patience is the key.
I've rang round a few garages n they said they wasn't sure about it being the cam chain tension because normally there are noisy on cold start n I only get a rattle once it's warmed through. Can this be my cct or something more serious? I hope not :-(
I'm off Wed + Thu so send me a PM if you want and I can have a listen in person depending on what i'm up to.
Do a search and you will find many threads with Sradiator/Ccmhunt/Freak (to name a few) describing the sounds and when the engine will make them.
IIRC its more on decel than when the engine is under power as the slack will slap against the insides.
Just a thought but with only 21k on the clock, why would the standard cct go???
I bought mine @ 24730 and the cct was shot. It never made the sound when the PO took it in until about the 4th time and they figured it out. He didnt want to spend the money to fix it, so he took the repair cost they quoted him off the asking price (they quoted ~$350..i got it done for ~$220)
Got the bike in the garage yesterday took it in the work van (no licence yet) and it fell whilst driving!!! Was gutted. We strapped it down but obviously not correct. ImageUploadedByMO Free1352186279.258277.jpg
On the other hand mechanic is pretty sure it's the cct + he's Going to clean the carbs as it been stood for a while and quite spluttery past 6rpm
Ah right cheers it was pretty sweet when I 1st got her but since its been in the cold/damp shed for a couple weeks it's started spluttering. I've taken her down to jc's their gunna sort me out with a iridium screen cheers for the link tho.
Thanks for the offer the thought didn't cross my mind tho, sorry dude. I'm sure something else will crop up at some point when I get on the road I give ya a shout if thts cool.
Cheers what made it worse is that i didn't drop her myself if that makes sense it was in the back if a van and I didn't strap her down proper.
Got her in the garage now getting sorted carbs being cleaned aswell.
I've been wanting to swap my front forks for Usd's are there any that just bolt on like from the newer gixxer's or the 750 srad?
