Platinum Boarder Posts: 1868 Re:Mystery noise 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Along the lines of the mystery noise, my windshield rattles like crazy, I wear an IPOD when I ride except when I go on the Navy Base and can even hear the rattle over my ears buds, I have tightened everything I can think of and it still vibrates, not so bad with my ear buds but without them it gets really annoying. Any suggestions??   Logged     Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: I SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

Where did I say that I did that? Ah, my mistake... I thought you were able to determine that the source of your resonance (typically found during vibration) was found to be the front pipe. The only way I know to do that is to actually make it stop resonating for a short period of time. Maybe you have a better way to do that. I learned a good lesson many years ago. So, at this point, I'm going to shut up. You seem to have it under control.

I keep my r's at 2k or over between gears (except at take-off )   Logged     Charlie Horse It only hurts when I laugh!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #296150 Transam1 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 650 Re:Mystery noise 1 Year, 10 Months ago   RangerDan wrote: For what its worth, I've got an 08 with .. 30 something thousand km on it now, and I have the same knock, especially when it warms up. I thought maybe the valves were the culprit, then came across this little tidbit. Gas her up and ride, its a noisy motor but nothing to worry about, IMO. Dan Thanks for that article, I usually wear a fullface helmet but at the bike Rally today I rode without a helmet and noticed a lot of noise I associated with the valve train. Had me worried, I'll probably check valves anyway as I have 23,000 miles on her but the info gave me piece of mind.

Senior Boarder Posts: 396 Re:Mystery noise 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I know I'm a bit late on this thread but gotta ask, do you have a factory windshield and factory lowers? If so, a very common rattle is the mount for the lowers. This mount will vibrate excessively at certain RPM's and if you have auxillary lites, it really rattles loud. I used a really simple fix. Door manufactures use small rubber plugs in the door jambs to stop the door from slamming against the jamb(commercial steel jambs). They also make a half sphere with a sticky back for additional shock absorbtion. I put one of these between the lower mount and the aux lighting mount and solved the rattle. It still vibrates excessively but does not rattle.   Logged     I\'ll be judged by 12 before I\'m carried by 6!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #296403 Transam1 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 650 Re:Mystery noise 1 Year, 10 Months ago   tsladden wrote: Sure Cure, louder pipes!
