Title: Is this a normal cam sound?
Post by built2last66 on 01/24/12 at 11:32:54

Does this guys cam chain and engine sound normal, or is he about to have cam chain tensioner issues?

Starts at 2:35 where he has his camera mounted to his gas tank:

I fixed it, I had it set to autoplay at 2:35 but I guess that doesn't work on this site..

It sounds like valves tapping to me, Have you checked them?

My bike sounds the same...mechanic just set valves to spec. I haven't checked the cam tensioner yet, but if you fix it, please PM me so I can have some peace (audibly and mentally). The sound makes me nuts, just because I don't know if it's normal.

+1
valve noise comes from the top
cam chain adjuster taps on the case in the bottom.
if it's real bad you'll hear the chain dragging on the case.
