Vibration/rattle

Hi guys,

I may be little late coming in on this one but here goes....

i had similar problem, always around 3000 rpm, sounded like a woodpecker in the engine.

took it in, they agreed and took the engine apart but could find nothing wrong.

just suggested that one of the cam chain tensioners was modified on the later engines and that may be the cause.

Basically I have to live with it.

However... Like one of the earlier posts, if you ride in lower gears ( as advanced riders do ) then the bike is generally at higher revs. i found that when riding in this manner the bike is much smoother and the woodpecker has taken flight.

Regards.
