Ronny Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 hey guys, new here! so hi my friend has a fz6r genisus and is need of help and hes old so he doesnt have the net.... he has a G reg bike, and its in superb condition! but hes noticed a like 'tingy' rattle when its idle and he revs it, its not a massive or nosie nose, and he said it stops after about 2-3rpm (it may still be there when over that but he said he cant here it), its recently had the carb floats rebalanced and he doesnt think its a pistol cause it fires up and runs perfect, he doesnt think its a valuve cause its not the engine tapping or out, the noise is still there if its in gear and the clutch is in or out, so hes at a bit of a lose, hes pritty good with bikes, so any ideas on wat it could be would be a great help thanks

Ronny Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 ive let him know cheers, how much on average would it cost to get the cam chain redone please? thanks
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 16, 2011 Moderator Posted April 16, 2011 Is the noise coming from the engine? It could be something as simple as a key fob vibrating or something else non engine related that goes when the revs are higher. I would have a walk around the bike and press or push everything I could. Seat, fairing (this is a common one for giving vibration noises), clocks, linkages etc. to see if the noise goes or changes. I would do this before I looked at the engine. Something as simple a a loose locking nut on the carb side of the throttle cable can cause this type of noise.
Ronny Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 my friends newphew has the bike for 6 month and he did one comute on it probs 30 miles and its been stuck in a garage for 6 month just stood still, when my friend had the bike before his newphew it didnt rattle or anything, its just last week had the carbs rebalanced, ill get him to try pressing stuff down to see if it stops, cheers
andyamaha Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 are you sure the carbs were ballenced properly somtimes when carbs are out of sinc it sounds like an engine rattle.after all it wasnt there b4 you had them done.
Ronny Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 im gonna go up to see him later and gonna do the hammer trick for him, where u press it again engine and see where rattle is, hes partly deaf so he cant really do it, ill try get him to take bike to shop where they were rebalanced and see what they say, pritty sure he said it was one of 'ian bell's work shops that done it
Ronny Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 just phoned my mate and he said its done 150 mile in 2 mots, he said he took it to the garage to get it sorted cause it kept cutting out and they said it was the floats in the carb so they changed two of the carb floats and it still cut out, so he cleaned up the multi plugs and it works fine now, he said a garage near by said it was either the chain tentionor causing the rattle or the cam chain, hes looked through the manual and it says the cam chain can be changed without taking engine off? not sure how true this is like?
Ronny Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 well been over my mates today and he flooded the engine so it took a while to get it going but now its going the rattle has gone o.O hes gonna replace the tensionor to be safe like, but great new either way
2 Wheels Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 No need to take engine out to get at cam chain. If he's getting a new tensionor anyway, see if he can get a manual one instead of auto. There far more reliable and stronger. Is he sure its not a simple rattle before he starts to work on cam chain or anything important like that !
scottfzr600r Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Are you sure its not an exhaust blow from the manifolds? My bike had a hole in the manifold that sounded like a ticking noise. Its quite a common problem on the fzr's.
