Does your fairing vent rattle?

I'm getting a rattle right around 2k RPM's. If I cram my fingers into the vent it stops. Anyone else have this and is there a fix?

Just noticed it today Same RPM. Bike has 3800 miles. I'm going to Harley Saturday for something else, but I think I'll bring it up.

My fairing vent broke at about 2000 miles. The connection between button and the vent flap snapped. The dealer said that has happened to several bikes. Mine was fixed under warranty.

Several threads on the forum discuss this topic. My dealer replaced the vent under warranty. No more vibration and rattle.

No issues with mine. But I have heard some other people with complaints.

Mine doesn't rattle, but I do hear a slight whistle from it around 45 to 50 mph.

Yes. Not real loud, and only really noticed when ridden around 10/15mph without radio. Since I usually have audio going, seldom notice. If it does bother me, I close the vent and rattle is gone.

Mine rattled the same way when I first got it. It stopped at some point and I forgot about it. Must have been the break-in plastic.....
