Strange Noises?
hey guys,
when i'm simply riding around on my 05 f4i it often makes a sort of clicking noise that seems to be coming from the front of the bike. I'm not sure where exactly because i can't hear it unless im moving and its too low to pin point exactly where on the bike its coming from. Its not from the tire area or anything it sounds like its somewhere in the front cowl area. Also when I accelerate sometimes I hear a sort of swishing noise or grinding noise and I don't know what to make of it, if i release the accel. it will go away and it doesn't always make the noise (also seems to be from the front of the bike however lower than the click). If anyone knows what these noises could be i'd appreciate some help.

RE: Strange Noises?
It definitely sounds like it is the cam chain tensioner. I brought my 2001 F4i into Honda for the same exact sound and thats what it was. I just picked it up yesterday and it came to $240 for them to do the repair and the sound is gone. After they told me what the problem was I did some research online and saw that it was a job I can do myself but by that time Honda would not give me my bike back. I asked to pick it up and they kept saying it was still apart and the new part would be in the next day and ready to pick up. So i got stuck paying the labor on it. The part is about $65 so if you have any mechanical skills just do it yourself. And just to add I have 9500 miles on my bike and finally did this fix. The sound just keeps getting louder and louder over time.
