Front end rattle - Kev8261 - 27-09-11 Can anyone help me locate a rattle I have on the front end, I think, of my FZS600. It's difficult to explain, a solid type of rattle rather than a buzzing tinny one. It doesn't do it while stationary and it's driving me nuts. Re: Front end rattle - Supanova7G - 27-09-11 Is it at certain rev ranges? My screen was rattling at around 2000-3000 revs and making a right racket. I found some sticky-backed velcro and sandwiched it around the uppermost bolts that hold the screen in and that seems to have sorted it =/ Re: Front end rattle - Skippernick - 27-09-11 I had a electrical block going into the back of the speedo touch the dash plastics cause a buzz at around 2000 rpm try that. But not a rattle. Re: Front end rattle - Kev8261 - 28-09-11 Thanks for the replies, it's not at certain revs, obviously I can only hear it at low speeds, and it's not a buzz, more a knocking sound. Re: Front end rattle - oldmotherfoccer - 28-09-11 can you tell if it sounds wheel related or from the handlebar/screen/ top end ?? might be a warped disk, or something loose in the brake area on the front wheel, pop it up on the main stand and have a good wiggle of everything Re: Front end rattle - griff86 - 28-09-11 Could be a wheel bearing going. Do you have any play in the wheel when its on the centre stand and front elevated? If you take the front wheel off and feel the smoothness of each bearing. Try and eliminate one thing at a time. Re: Front end rattle - Kev8261 - 28-09-11 Thanks for the help, after having a good shake of the front it seems to be coming from the fairing/screen or the black plastic fairing inner thing, at least it doesn't seem to be serious. Re: Front end rattle - His Dudeness - 28-09-11 try taking the fairing off and go for a ride. see if it goes away. they're not hard to get on and off Re: Front end rattle - gerkin - 01-10-11 my infil bracket was damaged at the rear drilled to small holes and fitted the smallest cable tie i could find ,used to drive me nuts Re: Front end rattle - DryRob - 03-10-11 I've been hearing a rattle from the front end recently, turns out my brake pad is moving around abit when I'm riding, don't know if its a problem though... |
