rice-pudding Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 There's an rattle that appears between about 4k and stops around 6k, seems to be coming from the top of the engine some where, sounds like it's directly below the fuel tank. Maybe nothing to worry about but it bugs me. Started last weekend after a 300 mile trip Quote
Fozzie Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Sounds like a cam chain tensioner related issue to me!When they wear out they can provide less tension at certain parts of the rev range as they don't respond properly any more.What is the mileage on the bike? Quote
rice-pudding Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 The mileage is about 10000 miles, it's a K1 Quote
Glorian Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 The fairing on mine rattles even though it's all tightened. Quote
Mr Fro Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 The fairing on mine rattles even though it's all tightened.Aye. My tank has an annoying resonance at a certain rev range when about half full. It's tightened down and doesn't appear to touch anything. One day I'll sort it out. Just not today. Or even tomorrow. Don't suppose you can bung a vid up? Quote
Stu Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 As Fozzie says more than likely the cam chain tensioner or it could also be a valve clearance out of spec Quote
rice-pudding Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 I'll try and get a video up soon, see if that helps, it's not a loud rattle. I'm still under warranty so maybe worth popping in past the dealer Quote

GaryJM Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Get it back to the dealer if it's under warranty.If you haven't bought a Haynes for it yet you can have my old one as I no longer have a Bandit.Will stress it's well used, I had two mark 2 bandits over a 8 year peroid ( first one got written off, just traded in the second one for my present bike) Quote
rice-pudding Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Hey a Haynes manual is a Haynes manual! Quote
GaryJM Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Ok send me your address details and I'll post it in the next few days, more likely at the weekend. Quote
