Annoying Rattle from front cowling - Shawn - 02-06-2009
Sounds like a wiring harness flapping in the breeze, but Ive cable tied the crap out of anything loose, Im at my wits end trying to find this rattle, anyone else had a similar rattle that hopefully turned out to be something obvious, but easily overlooked....

If it is a GEN 1 99 - 07 it could be a loose screen. - common problem.
If it is a GEN II 08 onwards and sounds a little like a slight clicking noise, it could be the front calipers and disk pads bedding in on a new bike.
Other possibles are a loose fairing screw or clip.

Hey Shawn,
I had a rattle in my K5 and found that the fuel tank was just touching on the frame.Just your lift your tank and check for wear marks on the frame

try looking at the mirror pivot points as well my 99 model drove me nuts I went over the bike for ages till I found the rubber between the riveted joint was worn I took the mirror off and squeezed the rivet gently in a vice with jaw guards till the wobble and looseness went out BINGO no rattle !!!
