Hi Guys,

Recently my 04' RSV 1000R Factory has developed a weird engine noise, this weird knocking sound (like sand in the piston block) only happens at 2.5k-3k rpm, irregardless either moving or not, and accross all range of gears.

I tested the engine during cold and warm engine temp, the noise will still be there during the 2.5k-3k rpm range.

Originally, I assumed it was the tappet, but tappet issues happens accross all RPM range.. then I assume it was the CCT (CamChain Tensioner), but that will also happen accross all RPM range... is there something that the engine does at the 2.5k-3k rpm range?

till now, I still couldn't figure it out and it's driving me nuts!! hahahahah, appreciate if anyone experienced this before to share your solution...

Thanks in advance for reading and helping :biggrin

p/s: Will upload the video later this week...
 
The cam chain tensioner won't necessarily do it over ally pm ranges if it's seized then it will good in one place and not the other etc so don't dismiss it
