Default Check your top engine mount!

I had my fuel tank pulled up today while doing some wiring and thought I would check the tightness of my top engine mount while I was there. I was very loose! I thought it might have been worn out as I have been hearing a metal to metal vibration coming from under the tank. It was just a loose bolt. Might want to check yours while your there next time. FYI

Was the bike vibrating/shaking because of the loose mount or just making noise?

Just a rattle, mostly at idle. I can't tell if it's any smoother or not.

Found the same thing on mine the two lock nuts were backed of and I had been hearing a clicking noise. Thought it was a rocker or tappet it was the top motor mount. Will need to check mounts more often. Thanks for the heads up.
