Right Side Cam chain Tensioner

[Smudge]

1200 GSA Late 2006 model 51000 miles (so far).

So .......What causes the Rattle on start up, only a second or 2 until the oil pressure kicks in.
Narrowed it down to right side tensioner, removed it but it looks fine.
Thinking it may be a weak tensioner spring so ordered a new one, see if that helps

Any other ideas

If its been parked on side stand, oil drains down from the right. Try parking it on centre stand with a plank under the LHS so it leans a little to the right If the rattle stops you'll know its just a feature.

Mine always did it if not used for a few days or so, I really wouldn't worry about it.
