Strange "Jingling Sound"...???
A few days ago, I noticed an unusual new sound on the bike. It kinda sounds like a small bell ringing. So much so, that eventhough I've NEVER heard my Guardian Bell while I was riding, I removed the bell to see if that was the source of the sound. It was not.
Anyway, it's that type of sound. It only occurs when I'm in motion. I can start the bike, and rev it up while it's sitting still, and the sound isn't there. But when I'm on the move it starts. Whateverthe source of this "jingle" is also caused by the motor. When I'm riding, if I pull in the clutch, and take the engine back to idle, the jingle stops.
I've checked everything I can think of, and the only thing loose is the NUT that connects the seat to the Handle Bars.
Any Ideas????
Oh...and this sound started before the strategically guided attack my teenage daughter accomplished on the rear brake peddle a few days ago (for those of you that read and commented about that deal).

It's the little round circle cover on the eyelid over the headlamp! It drove me crazy for 2 months and the dealer found it and siliconed it. Noise all gone!!!
