Cbr600 f cam chain rattle.

Just bought a 96 cbr600ft.

Can anyone explain what it sounds like?

I've got a sound at lower revs that goes away on accelerating. And comes back on backing off the throttle.

To me it sounds tinny like a 2 stroke exhaust.

Cheers

use a long screwdriver or long thin piece of wood place one end near cam chain where u can get to it easy and place ear to other end have a listen you will hear if its cam chain ticking away and to be fair it is sounding like it possible is that
