My engine seems to have cam chain rattle according to a few ppl and some mechanics but I've been told in the same breath that its "very very" rare that they've had to change the cam chain! I've changed the tensioner and put a new one on but the noise still remains. The noise is quiet when the bike is cold and gets worse the hotter the engine gets. Amusingly enough I got told that my engine is well quiet when I had a new back tyre put on yesterday haha "I thought yeh, wait till it warms up then you won't be saying that lol".

I've got it booked in for its m.o.t in 2 weeks and the mechanic is gonna open her up and have a gander inside to see whats what. Any suggestions folks would be appreciated?
