Just went to look at a CBR600F but was put off by the noise when in second and third gear. I've looked in the CCTL thread and believe it could be the noise I'm hearing but wondered if anyone can diagnose the noise from a youtube clip I got from the bike (may be asking a bit much). Would just like peace of mind that the bike isn't going to be an expensive purchase with having to service it straight after buying it.

The noise/rattle can be heard here:
Bike has 44000 miles and is a 2002 reg.

Thanks,

That sounds terrible. Pass!

 

I have to agree. That is definitley not the CCT. Its not worth getting if you plan on not spending a bunch of money on repairs.

 

Ouch! Definitely not the CCTL. It would be more of a rattle.

Poor bike.

 

Thanks for the help. Sounds like I'll be saving a fortune not buying it then .

 

sounds more like its been run dry steer clear...

 

Just listening to that engine makes my heart hurt for its vital parts. Pass for sure, owner needs to open her up or get ready for an early burial.
