Rattle (With video)

[Conzar]

Went for a quick blast on the bike (the bike is a zx6r B1H) yesterday took it up to about 150ish for only about 20-30 seconds before I turned of at my slip road when i noticed the bike did not sound normal.

Now the bike already ticks a little bit which I'm told is normal on the B1H but now it just sounds like the cam chain is very loose but just want to be certain, ive put a video up so you get a better idea

Definitely sounds a bit chainy when you give it a rev.
Sudden tensioner failure?

[Conzar]

I'm hoping it just needs adjusting

Is replacing it a big job?

[RhynoCZ]

Reset the chain tensioner.

Looks like a spring loaded jobbie, same as mine. An easy replacement.
Although, it does look a bit flimsy which might suggest it has snapped or the spring has gone.
I'd be checking that out asap as I wouldn't want the 'foot' of the tensioner rattling around inside the housing with the chain/cogs.

Nothing like a good bit of scaremongering, eh?

This is all stuff i haven't got the tools for nor can i be arsed to do

Sounds pretty poorly.

I would like to know how they came to that conclusion though.

Have you done the old screwdriver to your ear trick to try and pinpoint where the noise is coming from? What's your oil level like?

Bike needs a new engine

Found one with 780 miles from new. £450

Labour is £210 that includes diagnosis of the fault, fitting the engine, oil and coolant.

Chap i bought it from feels that guilty he is footing £250 towards the cost

Merry Christmas to me

Are you sure about that labour rate? That is INSANELY cheap. Even for an experienced mechanic I'd say striping a bike, removing the engine, fitting a new one and putting it all back together is the best part of a day for 2 people. Plus oil and coolant will be ~£40.

I recently swapped my TDM engine, I did have to take the new engine out and I rebuilt the forks but still it took us Friday 6-10 Saturday 11-8 and then me on my own 6 hours on the Sunday.

Granted we aren't experienced and didn't have the set up, if we did it again it'd probably not need the Sunday but I can't see a mechanic charging £210 including fluids and work already done.
