NC24 rattling sound??

Post by Utopic » Thu Feb 16, 2012 8:44 am

Hey folks,

Lately when I've been riding I've been hearing a rattling sound from lower down in the engine. Whenever it happens I can feel a vibration on my left foot rest. Any ideas what the cause could be??

Could be many things.

Loose spark plug causing a misfire on one of the L/H cylinders?

Worn radiator mounts?

Loose fairing panels?

Fucked clutch?

Loose collector?

Loose footrest?


That should do for starters :peace:

Thanks, can narrow it down to spark plug or clutch. Will check tonight and report my findings :)
