the rattle... above the guages

[remusrm]

How can I get rid of the rattle above the gauges? Its getting on my nerves. Bike is out of warranty and willing to try to fix it myself.

someone here found a front petrol tank
retaining bolt loose, causing rattling..

first thing to check is that all fasteners
are secure, esp fairing panel, plus
any wires/cables moving/touching
anything else, and of course
that front tank retaining bolt..

Has the bike ever been dropped, or has the screen changed?

no drops... just noise above the guages

Make sure that the bolts that hold the dash on are tight. I plan on hitting mine with some loctite soon.

Love that thumper.

Tightened up my dash and fairing fasteners last night. No more rattling

I did ... did not work

There was a recall for some India models for this, Honda replaced the recalled ones windscreens. Not sure if yours is dong the same thing, but try and remove the front cowl and see if there is anything loose around the gauges, when I took mine apart to paint my windshield, I noticed some loose nuts. It's a pain and take your time, but worth it if you find the loose culprit/s. Just get some blue Loctite and secure them back in.
