The key rattling in the ignition

Yes, this is normal... However, the wheel should still freely spin. It should not bind or be difficult to turn.
-
Ok now i am getting worried. Its defenatly not the key :)
-
I was riding my CBR600RR yesterday and today and I heard a rattling bell sound too (not the brake disc contacting with brakes). Man i'm worried :(, if you find out let me know, if I find out I'll make a post too.
-
Ok i will do that , i am glad i am not the only one.
I think its comming from insite the trotel it self some kind of lose (small aluminium plate withe a hole in the middel) dont know what the english word is we call it "rondel" in belgium :)
-
You guys should take the bikes in to your dealers. Use that warranty!
-
I dit my dealer will fix it when i am comming for my first 1000km maintenace
-
Snow let us know what the diagnosis ends up being on that problem.
-
I tracked this sound down to the throttle side bar end plug. The screw was tight, so without taking it apart (not recommended, right Jeff) I don't know what to do except live with it.
-
My dealer forgot to look at it but we know now what it is "see jeff's post", i desigded to life with it dont like silecone in my trotel :)
-
my bikes doing it too. ???
-
i remember reading some post here... someone said that the sound was coming from the cam chain tensioner... this guy is supposed to be a mechanic at a dealer... other people seemed to agree with him... ???
-
no the cam chain tens. dosnt make this sort of noise.....this is coming from somwhere in the front end up top near the clip-ons
-
Can you even hear it if your on the highway? I will have to listen to mine also.
-
I hear it too...guess I'm not crazy then. It's definitly not the key. I am going to do a little more investigation myself.
-
i had the same problem. it is the washer between the bar end and the clip-on inside the throttle. i bought some bar end sliders that just happen to be for a f4i ( they will fit perfectly ) and now the jingle has gone away with the stock metal bar ends. hope you find it useful.
-
Hmmmmmm...I might have to try that myself. The F4i Sliders fit just right then?
-
So you figured it out huh. I'll check mine to make sure. Thanks.
-
I have it too. Definitely coming from the throttle-side bar ... come to a full stop, and tap the bar-end ... I hear a little jingle every time! :p
-
yea mine does it too....when your riding slide your hand over alittle onto the bar end and it will stop...if it dosnt, the gingle is in your head ;D.....the problem with replacement bar ends is that if they are not heavy or a dense material, you will get a lot more vibration. ;)
-
You guys are being paranoid. Just ride. It's a harmless little noise. ;)
-
When im riding, all i hear are girls screaming! ;)
-
You sure those aren't your screams as you try to hold on?
-

Quite possibly. Might be the echoes inside my helmet.. ;)

Maybe Jeff can answer this one for me, does it make a slight scraping sound? I noticed it while pushing it while it was turned off, or while u're moving forward, but shut it off or held the clutch in/neutral while still moving forward.
I don't know if scraping is the best descriptive word I could use...but it sounds better than griding.
-
Does "rubbing" sound better? Like Jeff said, it's normal, as long as the wheel is still moving freely.
-
yeah, i guess rubbing describes what i think it's doing...
but it sounds like scraping...but not a high pitched scrape...
i dunno, u get the point.
-
I know exactly what you mean. Again, don't worry about it unless the wheel won't spin freely. It's just the brake pads in contact with the rotors. They have to be that close, otherwise your brakes would feel all mushy.
-
does it cause any brake wear (not that I really care, just out of curiosity).

Nope, because that would mean the brakes are gripping, which would make the wheel not spin freely.

dude get a mechanics stethiscope! like a doctors sort of..you 'll have to work out how you're gonna use it while you ride...
check the plate washer at the mirror mounts..if its loose it can make some queer noises too 8)

Or if you're cheap like me, just use a screwdriver. Yes, it does work. 8)
-
vacume tubing and a nail too...and you can jam that one in your ear while you ride
