I couldn't find anything that quite fit my issue. Just did the 20,000 mile change and replaced the clutch line O-ring too. Now it has a rattle noise coming from somewhere around the front cylinder or primary. It does not make it at idle or upper RPMs, but somewhere in the middle. trying to lean over while riding it and ascertain where the rattle is isn't easy. any ideas, let me kn ow.

 

Compensator issue maybe?

 

check your kickstand bumber... might have moved if you lifted your bike to service it

 

Bumper is good going to go through it again before I start taking the primary apart and if that isn't it going to do the TS out of the manual for Valve train noise.

 

Every once in a while I get a kind of tingy rattle at mid range RPM too, I've found that push / turn reseat the fuel gauge cap makes it go away ... for a while.

 

Okay, I am an IDIOT the stabilizer came loose from the head and just needed to be tightened.

 

Glad you found it, I just found the same thing on my '08 a few weeks ago. I was about to tell you to check it when I saw that you found it. That noise bugged me for almost a year before I found it!

 

Thanks Rat
