I agree 100% with CBRclassic, we are trying to be as serious as possible. We are trying to describe sounds that riders may encounter. A tinkel is something that you can live with for example while a KA-THUDA-BUMP-BANG will bring a grown man to his knees crying. In the cane forum advice for a tinkel is diffrent than KA-THUDA-BUMP-BANG. When a tinkel is encountered, the rider is advised to keep riding the bike until the tinkel is found, unlike the KA-THUDA-BUMP-BANG where the rider is advised to pull to the shoulder and pull the tags form the bike and start walking never looking back.

Shadow1 is a trouble maker in this forum......

ORIGINAL: Shadow1

D'you have a radiator cover ? Sometimes the bolts work loose on the screen and it buzzes, or the tabs break. NOT a camchain issue, unless they've moved yours to your radiator...

What does the rattle sound like ?.... technical descriptions below ...
metallic ? ( tinkle tinkle chinka chinka, )
or plastic-ie ? ,( buzzzz click buzzz) )

Wot no plastic rubbing zzzzzt,zzzt ?

GOTTA LOVE IT (falls over laffin, chokes on morning coffee)

I do believe that it is Radiator related, I held it and it Stopped. Did check my clutch lever but was not the source.

Replaced my Cowling, turn signals, etc. Still unable to find the source.

The Radiator was fine & secure. Suppose I'll look under the Tank next, could be a leaf from my trees?

Who knows, will keep you updated.

Sense of Humor sour'ing here,...

...By the way, it is a rattle, not a ticking, literally a rattling sound that again comes and goes.

If I could possibly describe it, well, it'd be a Rattle, not a tinkle tinkle chinka chinka,
buzzzz click buzzz, zzz..squeerk...zzz..squeerk, or a clinkle ....clinkle....clinkle.

It also is not a **** sound, but a ****ty sound (only w/ a ticking like RATTLE!)

Thanks, again...

...I'll keep you Butt-Nuggets informed, For Crying out loud, LOL!

ME ?
Trouble maker ?
I'm hurt.....................cut to the quick, wounded in my very sould.[X(]
You're all a WUNCH...........
Never heard of a Wunch ?
A wunch of bankers..........
Butt nuggets ? Noooooooooooooooo
I prefer fudge ferret if you wanna be a nasty boy ![8D]
Klunka klunka bump thud isn't good.
Skweezell chiggle zzzzzzzzz pop isn't quite so bad though.
But very very worst is
silence, when the bugger won't run at all..............not a chiggle, klunka, chirrup or pop in sight.
There are some chrome pipes in the rad area that may be loose, and transmitting the zzzzzzzzzzzzz-ting leaf type sound to your frame. Check the wheegees for movement.
