87 CBR1000F Cam Chain
Hey Guys,
I wanted to know if anyone can direct me to a picture intense post of how to access and verify/swap out my cam chain.
Right now i have a rattling noise under my gas take and am assuming that the Cam Chain is causing my issue or something rubbing against it.

here is the youtube link so you can listen to what the engine sounds like. don't mind the blue shoes it was a hot night and i placed the camera close to the bike to be able to record it better.

I'm assuming that video was made with the engine hot? Thought I could hear the cooling fan working after you shut her down.
Cam chain noise is normal on start up, especially when cold, it should go once the engine is warm and the oil pressure has built up in the cam chain tensioner. They changed the design of the tensioner from '89 on, so your bike may have the older design.
Here's a link to a 'How too' with pics, later bike but the design is essentially the same:-

Sorry, updated the link for one that works
