Hey @Dan_Lockwood any updates on whether you've been able to resolve the issue? I've got a similar situation.

Thanks for your input mate. I read elsewhere that you ride your bike hard. So do I. I am curious to learn more about your set up and (pro-active) service / part replacement routine if you don't mind sharing! I feel like there's a world of difference between those 'gentlemanly riders' and those...

Ordered the timing chain tensioner and CVT belt today to get both fitted in about two weeks from now (when they have hopefully arrived). In your experience, anything else you might as well get changed while you're at it?

No goodwill whatsoever. Was quoted around 1KUSD for the job. Said no thanks. Got the parts (thanks again for your help) and will get this done by a local mechanic. Did inform them however, that I will bring this to the attention of the relevant government bodies as it is absurd that you require...

You reckon buying used is OK or rather get it new...

Thanks mate! I'll look into this.

It is a 2014 c650GT with 19000 Kilometers on the ODO

Here's the video

This weird hard rattling sound appeared last week. Before that it was a "screeching" sound when taking off. It has recently been serviced and is due for a belt replacement next service. Anyone familiar with this sound and knows what might be causing it? Help would be greatly appreciated.
