Jingle jangle and all that.

I've yet to catch it fiddling with kids, but my steed seems to have a bolt loose or something as it makes a bloody annoying rattle sound around 4-6k revs.

I'm guessing (hoping) it's just a loose bolt somewhere as the noise disappeared after a service but seems to have returned a few months later. Sounds like it's coming from somewhere between the ignition barrel and the front wheel, but I could be wrong.

Any ideas for a good place to start? Or suggestions if you think it's more likely to be something else?

Possible medal for anyone who identifies the problem.

mine makes a funny noise if you leave it in to high a gear and open the throttle

Check your exhaust springs, mine had shed one and made a buzzing racket when revved

mine makes a lot of noises but it has yet to start saying....
now then now then now then and smokin cigars

Is it red/bronze? If so, it could look like him too. Very shell suitish

I had a similar rattle and it was the side stand bolt.

Well, 'Ows about that then guys an' gals !

Sounds like you might need someone to fix it for you!


Any suggestions?

The ignition barrel itself?

Does it scream when ringing its neck? Thats what jimmy saville should have sounded like!

I had an annoying rattle there. It was my keyring.
