i have a rattle...cant find it...

Post by Nel »

FFS..!!! its like having a steering wheel down ya pants... its driving me nuts..!!
does anyone have a tip on how to find this rattle on my Z750..?
i have tapped a screwdriver on every reach-able part...a thousand times...
i have ridden up and down my street, helmet-less, to hear it better or pinpoint the flaming thing..
i have removed the tool kit from under the seat...
still...i have this rattle...
its not coming from the front end or the rear...it sounds like its low
it sounds like a loose bracket.. it sounds like its an easy find... but NO.....
its not the stand... i have had my foot on it and still heard it..
it only happens when i ride over bumpy stuff...its not a constant rattle..

please give me any rattle finding tips you have that may help me..
before i go nucken futs...

thanks Nel :roll:

Check the exhaust, where it goes from 4 to 1 little rocks can gathers in there.
Get a bit of tie wire and fish them out :)

Was going to suggest perhaps the play pen might be a good spot myself...

I think there's a loose nut on the seat, does the rattle stop when you get off?
