Noise

[darrsi]

Could it be something as simple as some piece of bodywork or something buzzing? The thou's fairing liner panels are notorious for it, and it's hard to pinpoint when you don't know what it is. Sounds like impending doom too, and all it needs is a bit of extra foam to damp it.

I have considered a vibration issue, and i was actually thinking it might be my metal radiator cover.
But after taking my lid off and sticking my ear near the engine it does sound internal when i get the right revs, and towards the top end of the engine.
I'm starting to get minor cam chain rattle again as well now, but i'm used to that noise and it's probably just between clicks. Remember i only commute on it so it takes a lot longer for the tensioner to go to the next notch 'cos i'm very rarely doing any motorway runs or ragging it at all, just going to and from work in traffic.


Noise still disappears when the clutch is pulled in, but if i shut off the throttle and let the engine slow the bike down the noise is still there.
I also found that i can hear it most down side roads when i'm riding in between parked cars, the sound is much more obvious.
