Does anyone else ever hear a vibration around 5500 rpms near the ignition or front part of the gas tank, my bike is a 05 RR. I hear it sometimes, its nothing that will affect the bike, its just a little annoying.

 

My '06 sometimes has a bit of shaking but it doesn't usually last long. I beleive its the top
portion of the windscreen, where the clear part and the bodywork are joined by the screws.
I couldn't say it happens at a certain rev range though.

 

Try a search and you'll come up with a lot of answers...it's the plastic tank cover vibrating on the metal gas tank underneath, you should be able to find some pretty detailed fixes too,

 

yeah i have the same problem on my 06. its right on top of the gas tank near the top of the screws where that cut out is. it does it a 4500 and when i push down on it it stops. it sure does bug the hell out of me. what are some ways of fixing it

 

Take the tank cover off and add some padding between it and the tank.

 

Yep, that does it.

 

thanks guys, ill try the padding

 

I also heard that you can put a washer under the cover in the front (near the handles). It will lift the cover high enough so it isnt vibrating against the tank. I will be trying this soon.

 

Funny this came up now I just noticed it for the first timethe other dayand I've been trying to find where the hell it was coming from.

 

wear ear plugs...you won't hear them...
