noise

[ton304]

Guys I have an 09 transsalp and sometimes I hear like lite noise from the front end when I give trottle fast at aound 3rpm than it goes away, lokks like something is loose but cannot find what, or maybe its normal since the bike is new and it only had 350km on it

Check very carefully for a loose or missing bolt.
They have an odd habit of falling out and catching in the gaps between the exhaust and engine and in the belly guard, they could be the cause of the noise.

Hi Stumpyfingers, you referred to a honda 16t cush front sprocket on another posting and this is a duplicate request so keen am I to get my hands on one. David silver spares have asked for the Honda part no if you would be so kind. thanks.

Have no idea but I think it is possible to get one from Honda

I cannot find anything missing and all is tight in its place, might be normal. its a v twin anyway. it rattles to move

Does it happen if you are stationary and rev at 3000rpm or just when riding it?? mine seems to vibrate at about 3500 from somewhere at the front, but cannot for the life of me track where the noise is coming from.

I have the same issue but at 4500rpm. It seems to be a common thing with them, and generally seems to be the exhaust brackets/guards shedding bolts. I can't for the life of me find anything loose on mine but it is making me really paranoid that the engine is about to die on me. Oh yeah silly me, the engine is bullet proof, it's a Honda!! Doh!!!

hi there it happens when moving and not sationary, and yes around 3,500 from the front. I cannot find it...its like a rattle and than goes away below or above 3,500. same as you are saying it seems to be common, nothing loose I can find

[Farky]

Aye - got the same noise on mine, thought it was just something loose in my head so I bought bigger ear plugs

The plastic bits surrounding the headstick and attched to the tank may be the issue, even with the screws tightened they dont seem to be that well fitted... have been trying to hold them whilst riding when I do hear this noise... tricky though as im always in traffic when I hear it.

seems something rattles at around 3.5 rpm, its a v twin away the strange thing is that it does not rattle while reffing it up on neutral. it only rattles when moving and on low gears
