Have heard other folks speak of this, What I discovered is that the chrome ring around the headlight rattles when you bump it. Might be something to check....

I have had no less than 10 different rattles with trim and plastic on mine....buy lots of felt tape and apply everywhere plastic meets

Re: Something vibrates in fairing, makes noise?
Yup..fairing is HUGE source of rattles. Just have to deal with them one at a time. You'd think Ma Kaw could solve the issue as easily as we can, but then we shouldn't have to.TheAudiDoc wrote:I have had no less than 10 different rattles with trip and plastic on mine....buy lots of felt tape and apply everywhere plastic meets

Re: Something vibrates in fairing, makes noise?
When I had my fairing apart I checked all the fasteners that are in there and discovered that the fasteners that hold the instrument cluster were loose. I also found that some of the little chrome rings that are on the fairing surrounding the intruments were loose. Couldn't see how to tighten them up so a drop of super glue was applied.
Haven't gone further than the end of the driveway and back so don't know if I solved all sources of rattling yet.
