Hearing something rattling on the left side
I've been noticing a small rattling noise at take off. Isn't affecting performance. It almost sounds like somethings loose under the fairing on the left side of the engine. 6K miles on odo. Anyone have this, tell me where to look??

Is it when you hit a bump?, as i also have a rattling problem , but only when hitting a bump, I'm thinking its the chain hititng the rear hugger (left side!!).
Anyone have any experience of this, as it bugging the hell out of me.

Nox, you are a fuggin genious, it IS the kickstand.!!!!
I've now cured it with a 5mm length of brake bleeding tube, which I have split vertically and super glued where the stand rests, and acts as a cushion.
Many thanks, as this has been bugging for a few years now.

It's not hitting the kick stand, but it does rub the top of the swing arm, Isn't there a plastic block for it to rub on? Noise is mostly under acceleration. Is this normal?
