annoying rattle

[Stewart H]

The RH one tends to rattle more because the left hand one has the TPS to damp it, but when the wear gets really bad both sides rattle. In fact the LH one on my 850 is worse than the RH.

The rattling is much worse if there's always tension in the throttle cables - leave half a mm of slack (which you should have anyway) and it's much better.

+1 on that, I took the throttle quadrant off and cleaned then packed with grease behind it, well it cant do any harm

i have an annoying little rattle.....

....on my 1150GSA '04 with 46K on the clock

cant seem to detect whether it's right or left and some of the ablove has gone way over my head...

bike is running perfectly and i haven't dropped it all all - could it be that something needs replacing due to its mileage / wear on TBs....?

If it's running perfectly then leave it well alone

Do you have a hugger fitted? I had one that would knock against the swingarm until it was adjusted properly.
