sounds like a diesel

That is because you need the part for the 98 bike not 99.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for uploading this video and updating it with your solution. I had a similar noise and thought it was my CCT, stumbled across your video and saw how similar my engine noise was to yours. Sure enough it the timing was off a notch. Your upload saved me time and money, thanks a lot!

CAM CHAIN - SLACK AS NUNS CHUFF

So you got it sorted then. Good.

No it's not, sorry :) I had the right part. Have a look through some of the older comments and you'll see it's because the timing was one tooth out on the exhaust cam.
It was the earlier bikes that were recalled. Mine came fitted with the modded tensioner from the factory(shown by two pink dots painted on the tensioner body) as it is a '99 model.

I used to have the same bike model. These bikes had a factory recall for weak cam chain tensioners. These are replaced by the earlier 98 models tensioner and as good as gold.

Sounds like con rod big end bearing failure.
Definitely not cam chain or tensioner.
Correct number of pins between the exhaust and inlet cam, but the exhuast cam was one tooth out... They move more than I thought when you tighten the camshaft holders down :D
Corrected the timing and it's all hunky-dory. No metal or plastic in the oil and clearances are still good, so no harm done ;)

shims perhaps? are you lacking bottom end power?

No, the shims have just been done. The engine turns over by hand fine, and the cold clearances are absolutely bang-on what they should be. It also starts up and idles fine - it's just making a racket from the cam-chain tunnel.

Thank you, although I am 100% sure it is not the CCT. I have already had that out and checked its operation - it is fine. I also have a spare CCT which I have tested, and the noise is the same. It's either the timing, or the cam-chain guide blade :) Once I get some garage time (end of November most likely), it will get looked at again :)
