I have a right hand side noise too that I must investigate. :'( :'( :'(
But I'd say my poltergeist is totally different to your poltergeist. Although mine is a rattley clickity sound as well.....it only happens when you apply some throttle. In my case and it sounds like its coming from underneath the tank area. When you back off the throttle even a little bit, the noise stops instantly until you apply throttle again.
So I think that rules out any type of engine, fairing or wheel noise as the bike and engine is still running/moving even when I back off on the throttle. It sounds like maybe coming from the fuel pump when I apply some throttle. I'm worried that the fuel pump is on the verge of giving up the ghost...or poltergeist!! :angel :angel
Another theory was put to me by "Unfazed" when we hooked up at his house for a chat and a coffee and which I had to use all my willpower to resist his wife's very tempting freshly cooked scones and jam (thanks Unfazed).....he thinks it may be the fuel filter that is nearly blocked and struggling which is a strong possibility too.
I have a new fuel filter coming in Monday and I will be fitting this, a K&N filter, and doing a carb balance and see were that leaves me. Any other opinions or experiences most welcomed.
Apologies to you "Fuzzy" if I seem to be hijacking your thread. :kiss
Also, I like to give credit were credit is due. I ordered the few parts I need from Wemoto at 11.30am. They sent me an email by 3pm the same day informing me that my items were dispatched. Good efficient service.
Well done, Wemoto!!
