Anyone with any advice or knowledge of this sound would help. I have found a video/thread that had the exact sound that I have on my XS650SG. In the thread it was never solved or finished back in 2016. Again this is not my engine in the video, it just has the exact sound that I have.


I currently have the bike out of the frame and top end off. I have replaced the camshaft and rockers but would like to know if this was something more than just an old camshaft.

Possibilities:

- Cam Chain Guide with the rubber lining worn down.
- Rod knock with the bearings
- cam chain adjuster washer


Cheers,

the mic is too far away really. too much indirect sound and loud mufflers pointing into open garage. no way to know what you hear exactly. possibly too loose cam chain or tappets. maybe try messaging him on yt to see if he ever solved it.
