plattey
XS650 Addict
So the old xs has started making some loud noises while I was riding it down the road. I thought it was the valvetrain and camchain so I tightened them up as per the forums. The noise persisted though. Took out the screwdriver and listened to it while it ran at idle and poked around until I stuck the screwdriver in front of the engine below the oil feed tube where the cases split. It sounded horrible, kinda like a tire does when it gets a flatspot. Is that sound coming from a bad crank bearing or a worn camchain guide?
