I have a cbr 600 f4, 1999 with only 10,000 miles on. When you rev the engine there is a rattle from the r/h side of the engine.
I think this is down to the cam chain tensioner as HONDA'S ARE PRONE TO CAM CHAIN RATTLE.
Anyone know roughly how much it would cost to fix problem at a garage.
Thanxs

 

it cost u around 300 something and depends of the person also..

 

It is an easy fix.
IF you have any mechanical know how you can have it done in an hour or less
Here is the a site that gives you step by step instructions: http://www.bossturbo.com/cbr/howto_cct.shtml
The part oem will cost you about 45 and 3 for the seal.
Good luck

 

i didn't know that tensioner outside the motor, thats easy to fix , some of them inside the motor..

 

Yeah.. The two hondas that i have owned (f4 &f4i) both have had them go bad.. If you can deal with the rattling then go for it.. I rode my F4 for a good 12000 miles before changing it. I generally run a shorty pipe that is louder then the rattle =)

 

When I got my F4 it needed a CCT, I spent a couple extra bucks ($53) for an APE manual CCT. Now whenever I get some chain rattle, I pull off my tank and tighten down the CCT with a 17mm wrench, and I'm done.

 

Yeah, that's a big point of contention; the noise doesn't seem to indicate that anything is broken, per se. If you can live with the noise, then just ignore it. Otherwise, go APE.

 

Go to this web site and and there is a easy fix that Uncle Jeff has come up with.Here it is
CBRWorld.net - OEM CCT MODIFICATION PIC'S he seem to know what he is talking about he has wrote alot on the bb noise check it out and let me know what you think I am going to try it.

 

Just where is it?

 

link does not work for me

also i get something of a noise likethis but it only happens around 5,000rpms. any idea if this is the same thing?
