One day, I would like to rip apart my 400's engine and fit brand new absolutely everything, so I can be sure (!) of reliability. The two main gremlins are the crap camchain adjuster (new chain, adjusters etc fitted october) and rattly primary drive. It sounds like there is a little man playing maracas under the fuel tank, and apparently this is normal! All I need is steel drums in the carbs and dancing girls on the clocks. I've heard vague mentions of a better tensioner and belt drive available. Where can I get these, and does anyone have any experience of these? Preferably from sources in England, since shipping things from America or Japan would be rather expensive.

Ah, bugger. What do you mean by bbbbb? I've noticed one or two post missing the last bit, or do you mean it shouldn't rattle? I do hope it's the former  :o

Sorry Dyslexic wireless keyboard was playing up (and still does) was supposed to say shouldnt rattle if carbs balanced properly

Carbs were done and new camchain and tensioners in October. The rattle is the primary drive, which I had been told is normal.
