Hi looking to pick your brains again please....
My '03 mille has a rattle between 3.5K and 4K rpm. I wouldn't full throttle it at 3K so it only light to medium throttle.
It sounds like a chain rattle. Its not the drive chain ive checked that quite a few times and it sounds (for want of a better expression) 'enginey':confused
The bike has approx 11,000 miles on the clock. From the history ive got it seems to have been well serviced. There's no receipts for any engine work/repairs.
Im wondering what is the change interval on the timing chain?
What would be sypmtoms of a worn chain?
Are tensioners a weak point?
Ive just acquired a copy of the workshop manual courtesy of Ebay so the Halfords tools are on stand by :biggrin
Any thoughts?
Cheers
