Something like a piston slapping something metallic ? If so, camchain or tensioner or both. Had same problem two months ago, and am still off the road due to some very annoyingly inefficient dealerships. Cam chain tensioner around 50 quid, gaskets 2 quid, seems a straight forward enough job if you a...

Ah Steve, you heard me talking about you !! I got onto Honda.co.uk two weeks ago and they directed me to Chiswick Honda (the flagship dealers aparently).

The VTR was my first bike ! Go for it ! The most enjoyable bike to ride.

Pete, Just wondering how you got on with the replacement job, my front one has just gone, and I'm having serious difficulty in getting replacement parts. All I need is the tensioner, but the local dealer is telling me chain, tensioner and blades. Did you do the job yourself, or garage it ? Came acro...
