My bike has 27,000km (17,000mi) Air filter was changed at 20,000km so it should be good but looks like I should do the plugs I have to get the tank painted in 2 weeks So I will baby it till then and just change them once I have the tank off.

I was reading the cctl thread before and one person was talking about a buzzing vibration and thats why I asked about the cct but also it has a buzz (not rattle) from 4,500rpm to just under 5,500 but it doesn't sound like the cct rattle like last time I had it changed.

Cheers guys

 

Mine has that same "rattle". I notice it every time I ride. However I'm almost positive it's chain related because if I just ride in that range for maybe 10 seconds, it goes away. I'm assuming because the tensioner is doing its job? I also rarely get it on low end, like around 3000 rpm.

I just picked my bike up today, and I can tell a difference with the valves being checked and plugs changed. Bike feels "firmer". But I know the rattle isn't related to that.

 

Not sure if it is chain related as My old chain did it and I just replaced it and it still does that?

I'm going to talk to Honda tomorrow and see how much the plugs will cost to do and maybe get the valves checked.

Cheers

 

ebay the plugs....way cheaper. Get me some while your at it too...lol.

 

I looked at ebay and they are $20 cheaper then what Honda said and I have an appointment at Honda next Thursday so not sure if they would get here in time.
Might have to do the Thursday ride on Honda's 250 Demo bike lol.
