Hello everyone, i have a 2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200. It has recently developed a terrible noise that i would like some opinions on. Bike has 27xxx miles and the timing chain and top end has always made a little noise.
A few days ago i noticed a rattling, but ONLY when the bike is hot. Cold and warm it is perfectly normal. But when to full temp it rattles at 2000+ rpms. If i let the bike sit for a few minutes and start it, it takes a few moments for the noise to start again. I have already pulled the alternator and i know its not the cause. It makes the noise in 1-5 gear and in neutral with or without the clutch pulled.
I have uploaded a video for your viewing pleasure.
