Funny Jingling sound...

[ChrisR1]

went out for a good blast this afternoon, but experienced a really peculair sound when i was right up the rev range, it sounded like a set of keys being jangled/vibrated fast inside the front fairing area!? (it wasnt my bike keys tho!)

doesn't happen at lower revs, and the bike pulls clean all the way to the limiter, any ideas? is it just a gsxr quirk?

bike is a 2004 GSXR 750 K4.

hope someone can advise, thanks for looking

camshaft chain?? Maybe get it checked for tension.

[ChrisR1]

hmmm, could be possibly. thought they auto adjusted though, maybe not.

hopefully its still safe to ride until i get it looked at!

thanks

Camchain.

Check yer tensioner

[ChrisR1]

righto, got her booked in for full service and healthcheck next week, told the to check this out at same time.

will it be alright to keep riding the bike until then folks???

cheers for the heads up on the CCT btw!

Have you looked for Indian asylum seekers hiding under the fairing?

[ChrisR1]

think the turbans would get caught in the chain! and the rattling noise would be more of a bud-ding bud-ding i reckon.

anyone able to answer whether its safe to ride til next week with rattly CCT?

is it just a gsxr quirk?

Deffo not a quirk. 3 x 750's and never heard that

[ChrisR1]

well it ended up being that the allen bolt and bloody washer for the steering damper was a little loose!!

strange fault anyway.


thanks for all the replies
