Hi guys
Looking for some advice on an 03 CBR900RR I recently acquired. It seems to make a rapid tapping noise from the engine. I spoke to the Honda 'master mechanic' and he assured me it was the air intake system opening and closing, and totally normal... it jus seems a little loud and a bit unsettling
Any thoughts, advice, reassurance would be appreciated!

Cam chain tensioner.
Get it changed asap.
The one on my old CBr600f was made of cheeze.
Best bet is to swing past a bike shop and have a mechanic confirm, but it is an easy replacement job.
