The fuel gage float must be loose...

Gary, I was going to say the same thing! A little misinterpretation could be a hazardous thing!

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

What is this speedo rattle you guys are talking about and what is the fix?
Mine will "rattle" under the tank sometimes when I hit a bump and I can't zero in on the loose component.
TIA

Thanks for the replies fellas. Haven't had a chance to look at it yet. However, it makes the noise regardless of whether or not the tank is full or empty. I'm going to try and get a mirror or something to try and get a look at the inside.
Whatever the piece is, it has a bit of weight to it. Like a 1/4" nut or something.

This makes me think it's below the tank. If there was something like a nut in the tank it's sound would be dampened by the fuel.
Can't wait to hear (pun) what it is.

As soon as I can make it out to the garage where the bike is for the winter, I'll let you guys know what I find out.

It might even be the blinker for your turn signals ,it could have vibrated out of the rubber holder and be hanging down hitting the tank.

Something very similar happened with my bike, and all it ended up being was a small screw that wasn't suppose to be there
