Title: Odd noise......
Post by raydawg on 08/04/14 at 16:02:35

Riding yesterday with my hearing aids on I heard a noise that's in-sync with RPM's, really noticeable on a hard decel, and a burst of throttle in lower gears, but it appeared to be only in a certain RPM range.
I thought perhaps my windshield was causing it, as I saw a few spots where it had started to rub due to looseness of a bracket. I removed it, but it still has the noise.
I was worried it could be the valves/lifters but I get no noise from them when I put the bike on the stand and rev it, or at idle, wouldn't I get the noise constantly if that was it?

Any ideas?

Bike runs great.....just don't want to cause any damage if I can avoid it :-?

Thanks :-*

Check the belt pulley on the engine.

Headlight rattles can be in synch with engine rpm....I thought I as losing my entire cam assembly it was so noisy. Then one day I reached up and put my hand on the headlight and squeezed....and the noise went away!

You have been around a lot longer than me but I'll ask. Have you already fixed the speedo so it doesn't rattle?
