750F2 clatter

(1/2) > >>

Hi all
Ive a 22000 mile 750 F2 and ever since ive had it it makes a lite clattering noise when ticking over at around 1100 rpm noise seems to disappear when around 2k rpm and above, it sounds louder from the clutch than any other part of the motor and makes no difference when pulling the lever, ive been told it coud be the primary chain , i always thought it was normal but ive heard other 750s that  dont do it, has any one else experienced a similar noise

Cheers bob

Johnwebley:
Most Honda 4 suffer from clutch clatter,

Check,

Timings
Tappits
Carb sync

The latter should quiet the motor

Hi john
Thanks for the reply the timings spot on so i will check the tappets and sync the carbs to see if this improves things

Before adjusting the carbs i'd suggest doing the cam chain tension first, according to the Haynes manual.
The procedure in the owners handbook is incorrect.

I had nearly 40k on my F2 before its unfortunate demise & it always ran quietly

Hi yoshi
Thanks for the reply ive already done the cam chain and timing is spot on only thing ive not done is tappets and carb sync so once these are done hopefully the clatter will lessen the bike runs great as it is but if i can quieten the noise thats only noticeable at tickover i will be a happy bunny
