New Honda cb550f in the family but... Engine rattle!!
Noelia:
Hi all!
After almost a year since I bought my cb500 and which I haven't ride yet due to some silly issues (paperwork and clutch being hard rock) I've got a message from my Spanish friend from Liverpool saying that finally one of his work colleagues decided to sell his bike. I was going to buy this one before I bought the 500 but he changed his mind. However it was a great surprise and I rapidly say I will buy it!
The bike is not 100% original but it looks great and had the engine rebuild plus other upgrades like electronic ignition etc etc...
The bike arrived today! And I was so excited! It looked so good!
I fire up the beast and then.. There it is that infernal noise coming out of my brand new old toy... So disappointing...
I think it is the cam chain needing adjusting?
What do you think?
Also a few pictures of the new baby.
... Would I be able ride some day??

It looks OK to me Noella.

Not 100% sure but sounded ok when reved? I belive clutch baskets rattle a bit sometimes, also out of balance carbs might be a culprit or contributer.... Over to the experts.
Johnwebley:
it doesn't sound to bad,
suggest you check the tappets,cam chain tension,and plugs,
when the plugs are out,it will give you some idea of mixture,
any nasty smoke when revved?
just needs some TLC
