Bugger it! I've got problems with my VT250 :(

I've found camchains make their worst noise at idle and smooth out as the revs get up,but if a chain get too worn the inlet valves can start clipping pistons.I know nothing about these engines at all - apart than it's a Honda,which have strong bottom ends and weak chains,but don't get led into asumptions.

Same thing happened to my vt250. I had apparently bent the crank shaft due to a fucked piston apparently. $1000 later i had replaced the engine. Hopefully it's not that for you

Cheers for the ideas guys - much appreciated. I think I'll strip it down a bit this afternoon and see what I can see.
