One is automatic one is manual. One takes care of itself but breaks down. One lasts forever but requires adjustments.

 

lol what he said ^^^ the automatic one has like oil and compresses and eventually the seals break inside of it and then blam worthless, the manual one is just quick adjustments with a 14mm

 

awe they deleted yo thread... stupid mods lol, anyways, film it real quick and post it up

 

I can't answer your question but I have an 06 1000rr it has the same problem exactly as you explained. It bugs the crap out of me

 

My '05 is noisy too, always has been. I asked the guys at the dealer about it once and they said that they're all that way. One of them had a GSXR1000 and he said that it was even noisier than the Honda. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

It is true these are just noisy engines. My 05 that I've had since new has always been this way. I have over 20k miles on it now.

Unless yours is making something different, its probably just the normal noises these engines make. Just be glad your not on a ducati with a dry clutch. Mine doesn't sound so much like metal tapping, but more like noisy injectors. thats the best way I can describe it.

As for the chain tensioner. I doubt that yours is bad. Many 600 cbr's had issues with them, but not many 1000RR's that I have heard of.

If you truly feel its out of the ordinary for your motor, start looking to where the noise is coming from. You may be able to pin point the exact area. I would start with making sure you don't have an exhaust leak somewhere. I've seen many exhaust leaks fool people into thinking there is something seriously wrong with their engine.

 

i wouldn't but it just started this...so its not normal and ill see what i can do about getting it recorded

 

like what adjustments....as in tightening it? or just turning it clock wise till the sounds stop haha i know nothing about street bikes yet still learning...and im gonna change it soon where is a good explanation on how to?

 

lol read the how to in our f2 tech section yo, anyways. you tighten it clockwise till the bike finally stfu's then once it does you go counterclockwise untill it comes back, then turn it a 1/4 an your good

 

but u said it needs to be adjusted?? just once? or how often do i gotta turn it left and right and stuff haha
