Rattling / Chattering Noise

Hi All,

Seem to be fixing one thing and then it throws another thing to fix!!

Have heard a rattle / chattering noise a couple of times when on tick over, it doesnt appear when you first fire the car up, the noise appears after its been running a while last about 10 seconds or so then goes. Sorry for the vague description but i dont know how else to explain it.

Any Ideas?

(edit) Sorry its a 97 Fireblade

Mike

Cam Chain?

i know there is an adjuster but i've never done that before either!!

It could possibly be your clutch. Does the noise disappear when you press the clutch pedal? If so, it might just need adjusting.

Use a large screwdriver as a stephescope ? put the blade of it on the camcover by the camchain and put your ear on the handle if it's camchain you'll hear it
