Why is this happening on a brand new motorcycle?no safety defect listed.
My motorcycle has a persistent problem with something called the cam chain tensioner which resides in the engine. At a certain miliage such as 2200, the bike will start to make a clicking sound which is the cam chain loosening inside the engine. I decided that the problem was the cam chain tensioner because many other people who own the same bike complain about the same problem. The saftey issue is that if the cam chain failed during riding operation, the bike would lose power and possibly be destroyed. The thing is that the problem is covered under warranty but many people have take their same bikes in for repair to have the problem start up again a few miles later. Please reference this link so that you may understand the problem more fully. It is a site about the honda cbr. The url is http://fullspeed.to/cbr600. Please go to the forums section and search on the word cct (cam chain tensior) and you will see the gravity of the situation.
