Hi all, I have a 2004 1000rr that I can hear a light tapping from when sitting on the bike. I have only bought this bike and have just covered 120miles. It's not banging or crunching and seems to get quiter when it warms up. I have a receipt that says the valves were done at 16000mls and now there is 20,000 miles on it so I guess it's the cam chain. Are the Honda ones expensive, I presume so but are they worth it? Would I be better off with a manual or automatic tensioner? Ape seem to be popular, so are they the one to go for? Thanks, John.
i would imagine if the valves where done,then a new can chain+tensioner was fitted,or at least should have.(makes sense really). i have a honda tensioner here(2k miles old) cheap if you want it.
