Top End Rattle Not CCTL
#1

Afternoon all,
I've been left scratching my head over this one.
My 2001 600 F Sport has developed a hell of a rattle from the left hand side of the engine. I dropped into a local (trusted) mechanic a few weeks ago who changed the CCT for me for a new genuine Honda one, checked timing, did an oil + filter change (no metal in either the filter or oil) When I picked the bike up, I was told "It's a bit tappety". Wonderful news...
I've got another mechanic looking at it now, and everything seems to be coming up okay, bike passed all compression tests, and apparently all valves are within spec, and the timing is fine.
The bike still pulls as it should, and still runs normally, it just sounds like a tin of ball bearings.
Any ideas? Hopefully it's not the big or little end or anything terminal!
I'll upload a video as soon as I can.
Thanks
