I have got a 1999 R6 with 23000ish miles on the clock. I recently noticed a noise coming from the top end of the engine?? and was wondering if anyone knows whether this is likely to be the Cam chain tensioner or un balanced carbs?? I have checked the oil...all ok.

The bike has been run until very recently restricted to 33BHP, so this may also be a factor??

Any advice would be breatfully appreiciated.# :blink:

I didn't know it was possible to restrict an R6 to 33 bhp... Surely it makes that at idle :lol:

Whithout knowing what noise you're getting it's difficult to say, but perhaps the "de-restriction' wasn't done properly?
