Just got my FZ6 S2 back on the road after fitting a replacement engine and it's been running great for over a week until I took it down the motorway on my way back from work when it started making a noise! I slowed down to come off the exit slip road and it seemed to dissapear until I accelerated up to 50 mph and it came back!
At slower speeds the noise goes away but as soon as I go above 40 mph it comes back.
I left it over night and went to work in the morning and it was fine but as soon as the engine warmed up again and the revs increased the noise came back.
I took it to my garage to have a closer look at it and it is quiet at low revs but as soon as it is revved up it rattles from the top end I thought it might be the cam chain so checked out the tentioner and it appears to be working fine.
It sounds a bit like a camshaft problem but not really sure.
I did check the oil level and it was very high above maximum but I don't think that is the problem.
further investigation is needed!
