    :wink: with my helmet on and visor down i can hear a rattle at 3500 up to 4000 rpm sound like timing chain to me but if i lift visor i don't hear it i know some will say ride with visor up but that's not the point i tried to locate the rattle with listening through a long screw driver but it didn't reveal its self its annoying does any one else get the rattle with there Tiger :rolleyes: the clutch is now perfect. do the timing chain adjusters some times stick like they do on the Honda engines and need resetting

    Get either a decent set of ear plugs or a de-baffled exhaust & the rattle noise will go away :smile:

    Keeping it below 3500rpm will also help, plus, the fuel economy will improve :smile:

    Have a look around your headers to collector, sometimes stones get lodged on the exhaust and cause rattles.
