We all know the 929s have a ticking/rattling noise aroun 5k or so. I recently replaced my stock exhaust with a full micron system and now I can hear the rattly noise and it comes on around 4300+ it sounds like some nuts and bolts rattling around in a tin can Its gotten much loudersince I did the exhaust change. It's really annoying. I tracked it down. I have a Freestyle ingenuity crash cage on my bike. The frame sliders are hollow along with the tube that protects the engine. If I grab the left slider the noise gets reduced drastically. What I believe is happening is the engine (valve noise) is traveling throught the engine mount bolt (located in the frameslider) and echoing in the frame sliderincreasing the sound. the cage doesnt get that warm but Im sure that the engine mounting bolt does. My question is What could I stuff inside of my frame slider to deaden the noise with out the risk of fire (from the heat of the engine bolt)? Im not sure as if it could get hot enough to start on fire but wouldnt want to find out I was wrong. What do you guys think?

Thanks

 

Steel wool?? Packed really tight

maybe even spray paint it black so you dont see it

 

I have the pucks that go in the end so it wouldnt be visible but I wouldnt want it to rust in there when I wash my bike. But good I dea, I might try it I would have to make sure I took it out when I wash my bike. Thanks any others?

 

Great stuff

 

If you pick up a couple of bags from the supermarket, you can lay it all out on cardboard
and paint it with rustoleum then stuff it in there..

 

bolts on the cage all tight?

 

How about using some Lock Tite??? I put on an MXD street cage and have no problems...
