Not these - further information would have revealed it sounds like it's coming from under the tank.
I think it's probably some high pitched vibration or something rubbing.

It'll be a tank up-to-have-a-look job - but one where you can't create the conditions where it occurs with the tank up. So it'll be look and guess, try a fix, test and see if it helps .... no that wasn't it .... look again .... guess again .... try again - type of investigation ......

Yeah pretty much..

Probably leave it until something breaks. I'll know what it is then.. Then I can fix it properly.

Indeed it is and he's chuffed to bits with it.

A wonder you could hear anything over those Renegades though!

Thats true, but IMO the Rene's are the best can for any Aprilia litre bike.

Also I expect they could do with repacking, not the most difficult job on the planet, but heading that way lol.

Just going back to the original problem.
So the only two people who have ever heard the Squeeeeeeeek
come from Coventry, ..............
.........................................
.........................................

They can both hear this Squeeeeeeeek
even above the Rene cans ???????????

.........................................

Perhaps we have a simple answer..............................

Perhaps it is not the bike after all.....

Perhaps it's just that people from Coventry are tight arsed anyway!

You could be right ..... however I'm not from Coventry - just happen to live here.

Will has no excuse.
