Hi

Just a question to folks with an 1150gs - how much does you bike rattle when you start it up and then when it is warm?

Im wondering if something's wrong cause im getting vibrations that I havent noticed before. there are rhythmic vibrations at 30 and 40mph and im wondering if there is something up with the engine. she has developed a habit of drinking oil of late. she is also running very rich on the mixture......having noticed heavy soot deposits on the pannier frames and back of the number plate.

this question is to help me gauge as to whether or not i should be concerned about the levels of rattling and vibrating that has now developed in my bike.

do other folk's gs's rattle ALOT like a massey ferguson tractor?
 
Lots of rattle on start up.... is the rythmic vibration in 4th at around 30-40? two of my 1150's did that, nothing to worry about;)
 
A full service and balancing the throttle bodies would go a long way to sorting her I think.
 
no rattle on start up, slightly more tappet noise than a jap though,
