One can only presume that at some stage when this noise was being investigated some one would surely have ran the bike with the tank Up This would if my understanding is correct have eliminated any noise made by the alloy pads on the rails ? But as it has been stated ................ the cam chain was unserviceable also, so one may then assume that there were in fact TWO noises present. One being the noise caused by the cam chain having excessive slack and the other by the shitty frame stress fracture causing "bling bits" tapping out there stacatto tune on the frame rails
If the noise changed once the tank was lifted but still a noise present it may be fair and reasonable to assume that one could think this may be due to the echo effect with tank being down what was causing this change to the noise. So one then goes and investigates and repairs the said cam chain.
Now that the cam chain is all fixed and repaired low and behold the other noise now becomes more evident still, due to there now being no other noise to mask it. Hence it now stands out like the proverbial dogs balls, and would certianly not even be there if the bike was ran with the tank up making it pretty easy to track to the source of the problem. Shitty bling bits
In the diagnosis of noises this is a common problem, as always the most prominent noise will be the one that is searched and seeked out, but as it is found and rectified then the lesser noise then becomes the prominent one and so the cycle goes. Like all situations such as this, in the light of day when all is known, it's very easy to make conclusions ................ as they say hind sight is a wonderfull thing.
My deduction from this would not be that this has been a matter of fixing the dearer ones first and the lesser ones second. More so a case of repair the obvious noise first, then if more problems are found then rectify them also as they are found.
When chasing a problem, one cannot ignore an obvious problem and go of seeking another probem when one allready knows there is an obvious fault there
The good part is it's all fixed and problem solved, Kudo's to all that helped in the outcome. It's confirmed to me something I was allready aware of ............. don't fit shitty "bling' bits no matter how good they look if it's detrimental (rubbing frame rails) to the operation or safety of the bike. Apart from these alloy tank pads creating stress points in the frame (and who knows how deep they would wear given time) they certianly complicated things in this situation. A good example of this would be the rear disc rotors with the word Hayabusa laser cut in them. Would you fit a rear disc that had a 8 inch slot cut around it ? and then wonder why it warped when used ?
Credit to the manufacturer of these in the states mind you that stated these were for "show" bikes and not suitable for those ridden due to as stated above
