As you may know I've only had my Fazer a week or so.
On the test ride when I bought it, I noticed quite a lot of road noise being directed up at me, but couldn't find anything untoward so put it down to design of the fairing. The fairing has quite a lot of space around it and thought this was amplifying the normal tyre/road noise.
A former Fazer owning friend rode it last night and confirmed it was not 'oh they all do that' kind of noise. We couldn't find anything loose or worn, so are a bit stumped.
I understand the speedo drives can be a bit of a pig to seat correctly, so I will investigate this, and it has a fender extender fitted which we thought could contribute.
Noise is speed related not rev related, so it won't be engine/exhaust problems.
After reading the scare stories of the sprocket nut, could this be the culprit?
Has anyone had this issue before?
