Tiger 800 Camchain Wear?

Here's a little video to show the sound I'm getting from Tracey at the moment. It's the vvvvrrrrr noise you can hear at around 2000 revs. It happens when stationery as well as moving, in or out of gear

Any ideas?

 

Hi biggy It's done about 14000, it's not the ticking noise but the vvvvrrrrr noise as I rev or come off the revs at about 2000

 

I've just listened to it off the phone speaker and yes you can't really hear what I'm talking about. When I first did it I used earphones and you can hear it with that.
It happens from the first throttle blips at 002, You have the normal triple whine as you wind up the throttle then there's another distinctive sound a bit lower resonance from the normal whine, it increases with the revs but then gets drowned out by the engine. The ticking I think is something else as it doesn't increase with rpm, could be wrong of course, last time I listened to cam chain wear was on a cx500 and it sounded like a tank doing donuts on a corrugated metal rooftop! But maybe the ticking is the adjuster as you say and the noise is the chain on the chain guide!?

 

If you've ever put a screwdriver between your ear and a cx500 engine with loose camchain and tappets youd think I was being kind to it

 

Where's the fun in that? Bloody killjoy BMW riders, so sensible

 

Due to somebody on this forum making sensible suggestions, @littleade , I've had some experts take a listen. Possible guide wear, mis-alignment, cam chain adjuster needs resetting, have to take it apart to know for sure, throttle bodies not sitting right or a clamp come loose, Or nothing noticeable!

 

Thanks I'm going to try and get hold of the gaskets etc

 

Can you do that on the NHS or do you have to go private?

 

Saw another mech today, prognoses: induction noise, sprag clutch sticking and stator retaining bolt worked its way loose?!?
Where to start?! Beginning g to think it's not cam chain related though!

 

I surmise your assumptions of the diagnosises of the above could well be surmisations but the prognosis of said surmisations is leading me to pull my f'ing hair out as they are all triumph mechs!

 

Oh go on I love pain!!

 

Well I had another triumph mech check it today his thoughts were balancer shaft.

 

Beginning to think that!!
