This isnt a guessing thread but if I was to guess, it'd be the chap with the stage 2/3 Moriwaki track bike....cant see anyone beating that with a road bike.

Listened again and I dont think its the clutch. I can hear the clutch rattle too which is very slight.

This rattle is much louder but still not bag of spanners or liquidiser full of 2p's.

Just cant think what it might be. Going to do what Marty suggested.

Righty o. I'll get that done too. Want her to be tip top

I have now checked whilst servicing the bike. The rattle is present regardless of clutch position. The sound appears to be coming from near the front CCT and is quite loud. The thing is, it doesnt sound like a bag of spanners. Its just a loud rattle. All very odd. Any other ideas as to what else it ...

I had a nightmare with this change and I ordered a DID kit. If you are fitting "DID" sprockets, check the chain tension all the way around when you're done. DID dont make sprockets and the ones which I had were made to a tolerance which I (a newbie) and a race mechanic were shocked at. The...

Some bolts require lock tite rather than copaslip...but you knew that, right?

I hope you get over the off.

Why not take it to a track day and do the beginner laps. At least that way you're sure that theres nothing else to worry about whilst you get the feel of the bike back?

Just a suggestion.

It probably is paranoia and doesnt really sound like a bag of spanners. Its more of a rattle. It only used to happen if I was at almost exactly 1800rpm. Usually at lights. After the winter, it seems to happen even when its just idling. Pretty sure its clutch and nothing to worry about but I want to ...

Cheers Tony :D hehe It's getting looked at tomorrow all over anyway. I'm prepping her for sale unfortunately so I'll be fettling like a good'un. Still heart broken about this but dont have a lot of choice. Missus did give me the option to just not take her out, bless her, but after spending £700 on...

Change of tax disc for the new season. I've got one of those holders with 8 bolts holding the cover on. Someone phones me right in the middle of putting in the last bolt and I drop the damned nut. It aint on the floor so it went somewhere inside the fairing/on to the engine. Spent 2 hours looking so...

Awesome, I think I just have a bit of clutch rattle then and its not the CCTs

Thats a good bit of news. Still going to test for stopper mod though and change the clutch fluid whilst Im at it. Might help a bit.

Cheers.

Thanks mate

Thanks mate.

I just read another post which suggests it might not be CCT at all, because Im pretty sure it disappears when I pull the clutch.....waiting for confirmation of that.

Ideally, I'd find a list of things to diagnose a CCT failure as a sound is a hard thing to explain via a forum.

So is it correct to say that if an engine rattle disappears when the clutch is pulled, that it is NOT a CCT failure?

The answer to that might assist me greatly!!

Hi guys, Just servicing the VTR after the winter layoff. Noticed that there is a rattle coming from the engine at low RPM, say anything from 3000 down. From what I've read, it sounds like its probably the CCT's but I am not certain. Definitely not going to run the bike further until I have investiga...
