All 15- Tires, how old is "old" Storage conditions would be the largest factor not age.
- Cam chain noise This old discussion also. https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/73761-engine-ticking-noise-at-idle-intermittent-normal/ so it does some like a cam chain tensioner noise, probably harmless for now. Guess…
- Cam chain noise So this guy recorded the same noise on his when hot, he says the shop determined it to be cam related. Of course that bike has 50k on it and mine is less then 10k, but his sounds a lot worse then mine, but identical to…
- Cam chain noise Ok I tried to make a video so you all could hear what I’m talking about. First part is cold when it sounds more like a rattle, always at idle particularly after settling back after rolling off. Second part is hot where…
- Cam chain noise Got my service manual!
- Cam chain noise that looks like it would be superior for maintenance. I kinda like the convenience of the onboard unit for space reasons with a big bike like the VFR. Everything rusts here, I’m already battling it on this bike.

- Cam chain noise That’s where the bike was purchased and serviced. I might swing by and let them listen. I’ve heard there’s only one other 1200 on the island and it’s had a hard life. I’ll try and record a video for you guys and let you…
- Cam chain noise 1 hour ago, RC1237V From the parts image, it looks like they have springs to tension them, and should be fine at 9,000 miles. Did you check your valve clearances yet? When you do, you can rotate the engine, and see what…
- Cam chain noise Big island and yes it’s my new get to the other side touring bike. Really pretty perfect, no worries about range here. Remarkable machine, even if the sound is a little lacking. Been a decade since I’ve ridden anything…
- Cam chain noise Hi folks. Just bought a new to me 2013 VFR1200 with just over 9k miles. Gorgeous bike with lots of power, feels good to be back on a faster bike after years riding a KLR. I thought I got a pretty good deal given how…
