Strange Chirping sound. Cam Tensioner?
05/21/22 at 09:24:23
I have uploaded this video

mostly for the sound. My bike makes an unusual Chirping sound on acceleration. Just wondering if it is familiar to anyone. Is this the sound of the Cam Tensioner getting ready to fail?

I believe that's exhaust chirp or something loose.
feel besides the oil filter cover for a tapping, that's cam chain tensioner.

I very recently switched to a Pod Filter, I continue trying to tack the noise down, seems very near the Carb.

Don't let it run sitting on the stand. Starves the cam of oil.
A steel rod against the engine with the other end against the bone in front of your ear is helpful.
A biggass screwdriver works

Solved.
Slight air leak around the boot of the pod filter.
Cover the area with my finger and the sound goes away.
