CBR250R MC41 Mystery Rattle !? - YouTube

so i removed the bank/angle sensor and that thing sounds like it has a bb inside of it ... didn't think it made that much of a diffrence , but the bike is running a lot smoother ..... this sensor sits inside the upper cowl around the headlights ...... don't get me wrong , im not saying you should remove the sensor but this post might make you ride more confident ..... but you should always safety check your motorcycle .....and check your motor mounts....just in case

[Street Sniper]

guess these cbr250 posts are no longer useful information on this site

they should change the name of this site ....is misleading





^ at least some people appreciates me taking the time to try to put some closure on this rattle issue .....

whatever ...who cares ... hope that rattle haunts you haters when you ride

I'm sure RL is lurking around He did PM me to confirm that he didn't post any "cp" which I believe. Thanks for the compliment on the site. We're very excited to get it going. My bike had the rattle and it was annoying.

I appreciate the info. your find seems to be the most reasonable answer so far. to tell you the truth i'm too busy riding my bike to care about a rattle. this is one of the more useful posts i've seen in a month or so. otherwise it's just which cosmetic upgrade is best and slavery.

thanks Jme250RA

mine made a rattle but it was annoying to wonder if something was really wrong .. i too was to busy riding to let it affect me



now that i removed the sensor (for personal reasons) , it does sound like the rattle is gone


i heard of people injecting silicone or something in the sensor to override it but i took mine completely off

mate, based on your interesting feedback i googled it and found many
others have had similar experiences on various different bikes..
consensus seems to be that securing it with rubber seems to help,
but best result apparently is to wrap it in insulating foam first
then secure it well using rubber etc..
also raised is adding oil inside the sensor itself to allow the ball
to move [thus sense tilt etc] but to not make the typical 'rattle'..

choices of response interesting, large goldwing owners tend to
want to keep the sensor, but attempt to stop its noise,
whereas 600rr owners want to switch it off variously,
to avoid it sensing deep lean angles and switching off
while mid corner [!] esp those racing their 600rr..

going by the terminology used my others of 'rattling' seems
you may have discovered the 'upper fairing rattle'
