Hi guys

i have recently replace the head gasket and cam chain on my L1 but it seems to have a loud rattle at aro7nd 1000rpm to 2000rpm then goes away tensioner all seems fine , has anyone got any suggestion before i strip it down again , or is there mistakes people make when first doing cam chain
i have also read the artical on setting the cam chain correctly and i think i have that all correct

Could it be your valve clearances instead?

Hi
After having a look in a bit more detail , i found it to be the clutch , all the plates stuck together [ the bike has not been used in two years ]

Again guys thanks for your replys
