Nigel
Thanks for the reply.
Was your rattle just on one side?
If mine was the same on both cylinders I would be far less concerned.
Cheers

Re: R1100s top end rattle

I cant see it be valve clearances, these get quieter when hot not louder.
I am going to change the tensioner at the weekend and I will check valve clearances while I am at it.
If its not that then strip and check push rods.

Re: New Avon Storm 3DXM tyre set

Hi,
170 is fine, I just didn't want a 190.
The 180 on mine looks a bit pulled in anyway. 170 will be good.
Cheers

Re: R1100s top end rattle

Jeff Thanks for the reply. From what I can find - 1-cam chain tensioner is an issue, but that's noise is worst when cold and improves when warm. 2-The 2 part push rods make more noise when warm, so that will be my first plan of attack - change them for the later one piece ones. 3-My bike has 49,000 ...

Re: R1100s top end rattle

Guys
I have recorded a small clip.But I cannot up load to the site for some reason.
I think the cam chain is the wiring noise in the back ground.
I suspect the engine speed knocking is either small end bearing,valve gear issue or push rod ?
Any ideas any body.
Regards

Re: R1100s top end rattle

John Thanks for commenting. The noise is not present on start up from cold. It starts once the bikes warmed up after a few minutes and then gets louder with engine speed.I would have thought that a cam chain noise would be worst when stone cold, but Im not familiar with these engines. I will record ...

Re: Free: Stand for R1100S

Hi,
That's very generous, I will take it off your hands if that's ok.
When do you need it collecting ?
I can get it Saturday morning if that's OK - I am near Coventry on Friday night.

R1100s top end rattle

Hi Guys, Just bought one of these and when it gets warm the left hand cylinder sounds like it has a little end gone. Now Im not familiar with these bikes so not sure if that's a normal fault or if I should look for other issues - valve rocker faults ? I read that push rods can be an issue. Bike is a...
