I moved up from an 800 drifter to a 1500 drifter in June and I absolutely love it, but I just can't get used to this noise. I thought maybe if I knew what was actually making it I could ignore it more easily, or maybe there's a way to quiet it down.
I really think it's a cam chain tensioner. My DRZ 400 had the very same noise and I had a manual cam chain tensioner installed on the bike and as the engines running you can turn it in very slowly and the noise went away ran very quietly after that, unfortunately our drifters don't have the manual cam chain tensioner adjuster....Sucks.... I did see some website that some guy made one and made it quieter but I can't remember where I saw it.
