Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Engine rattle noise - what could it be?
I found both the chain and the spring available online. Don't think parts is going to be the main challenge, rather replacing the spring (and chain?) without removing the cam. This shop described the steps they have taken: http://slagheapcycles.blogspot.com/2014/04/honda-dohc-cam-chain-tension.html .

If I can find a a replacement tensioner spring and it's possible to replace it without splitting the case I'll try to fix it.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Engine rattle noise - what could it be?
That chattering noise you hear coming from the top end links the crankshaft and cam shafts so the valves open and close at the right time. Gets loose over time and so the chatter. Actually the tensioner spring looses its tension and fails to put enough tension on the tensioner to take out the slack in the timing chain.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Engine rattle noise - what could it be?
Hi, There is this slight engine rattling noise on my '83 Nighthawk 650SC. I recorded it after a 30 min ride (so the engine was at temperature): https://photos.app.goo.gl/WpH2bu4Jz4jTRU7R9 Any idea what that could be? I bought this machine last year and got it running in December. Put 300 miles on it. This is my first-ever motorcycle, loving it! And yes, I still need to clean and tune the carburetors. But I'm getting ~50 MPG on it: http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/honda/cb650sc_nighthawk/1983/shadowbrush/886051 , so I wasn't very motivated to tear into it. Thanks!
