the second sound is when i shut the bike off, when it is off for about 3 to 5 seconds it will make a burb sound from the "points" cover area. ??????
thanks in advance for any help

 

if u have not already i would check my tank mount bolts

 

Then check your heat shields. And then grab every part you can and see if there is anything loose.

 

everthing checked nothin loose

 

Rattling fuel cap! Mine did that. Took me forever to find it. Thought I had an issue in the motor like rocker arms rattling. Next time it makes that noise put your finger on the cap and see if it stops. Had a loose license plate that made a weird vibe and a buddy saw it moving. Also check the shift linkage for a loose joint. Check the rubber bumper for the kick stand too. Good luck. Hope this helps.

 

Yeah, my fuel cap rattles somethin' fierce...

 

On my second one and it rattles too but now I ignore it.

 

What octane fuel you using?

 

premium fuel

 

You can fix your fuel caps but flipping it over and using a hammer and flat head screw driver or something similar to crimp the chrome cap in a few areas to put a little pressure on the underlying assembly. I read that on here long ago, tried it, and it worked -- not sure who's idea it was...
