ZX9 Radiator rattle

Weekendwarrior · Post by **Weekendwarrior** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 10:28 pm

Greetings,

I have a ZX9 with a standard radiator metal mesh radiator guard that seems to develop a resonance and with it an annoying noise.

Just wondering if anyone has noticed this with radiator guards and if there is a fix?

Regards,
JB

Alteratively wrap some pvc tape around the edges in several spots to stop the vibration transfering too or from the radiator.

HTH.

Radiator guard? Rip it off and PM Pontikat for a replacement.

Thank you, much appreciated. I took a look at the previous thread, interesting.

I will email Pontikat and ask for details.

JB

JB,
Dave #3 ('03 ZX9) and myself ('06 ZX6) both have Brett's radiator guards on our bikes, so you can have a bit of a nosey at them on Sunday if you'd like to

Thanks Cath,

I am planning on dragging myself out of the cot for the 8.15 meet up at Kariong and down a coffee at PITS.

To be honest I am not entirely sure whether the resonance rattle thing is the guard or those wire guards twined around the brake lines, drives me crazy.

I took a look at the radguard site, I like the chrome mesh, must be the hog in me.

Regards,
John

Hey, my 03 has got that fine high pitched vibration in second gear around 4-5000 rpm.

Not sure what it is yet....plastics touching wrong or something...
