R1 heavy clanking sound

Question

Question when starting my 2009 R1 there is a heavy clanking sound like there’s no oil and then goes away, the dealer said that this is normal for this year R1 something to do with the timing chain. Anyone else have this similar sound when starting? TIA

    Hydraulic CCT will do that. If you swap it out for a manual CCT you won’t have that problem anymore

    Yes.. CCT or cam cahin tensioner is a little bad. My dealer sait to me too like thats normal.. but i bought another original new one. Replace it and sound is gone. My opinion is that every start something rattle and due to long twrm use.. thats not good. My is quiet now and i am happy 🙂
