That rattle can be gear noise. When the engine is running it pulses the main shaft back and forth. It can sound like a rattle.

It shouldn't be present when going down the road.

Hi,I have a cbr 1000 fl..the tensioner is loud when cold...are they easy to change???.

thanks

if you know what you are doing, it's easy to change but it's time consuming. The tensioner is between cylinder 2 and 3. Both cams have to come off and the sprokkets too.

it took between 5 and 6 hours on mine, but I am also very carefully.

i don't now some friends telling me that theyer cbr 1000f make that noise when the engine is worm and the mai cause is the tensioner.

[Bennysen]

The tensioner is a known issue on these engines

mine has a strange rattle after is get hot 80 c degrees between 2000-3000 rpm,a friend told me that isn't the tensioner that make the noise.i don t now.

[Bennysen]

There is two other chains in the engine one to the generator and starter, and one to the oil and water pump. Thay can rattle to but thats pretty normal for this model

[an843755]

before you change the tensioner the engine had an awful noise when was cold or after get hot?

[Bennysen]

Mostly when it was cold, it had a strange rattle. But now it's nice and silent like a Honda should be

[Bennysen]

I bought mine at a dealer in Denmark. But you have to find some sort of parts dealer. Where are you from

[Bennysen]

The tensioner is easy, it's just a matter of bolting it of. If you want to change the chain too, it's easiest to split the old one and tread the new one in with the old. And then join the new chain with a special tool

[Bennysen]

I have some parts, but no thermostat. But you should find one original, it should not cost so much.

[Bennysen]

The tensioner costs 135 euro and the chain costs 80 euro
