Guest parvo Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 On my way to work today my 04 Ballabio started making a weird buzzing noise. When I got home I parked it and revved up the engine until I narrowed it down to the windscreen. I tightened everything and it still buzzes. It looks like it is rattling against my light. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe camarda Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Did you check where the fairing bracket bolts into the headlight bracket? One single bolt, directly beneath the center of the speedo/tach cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was picked up on a while back, the cure is to put 3 small thin strips of rubber (sticky backing)on the headlight rim at 10,12and 2 o clock positions where it touches the fairing, stopped my rattle Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogonwheels Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 On my 04'Ballabio, the first rattle was actually a loose small piece of glass inside the headlight. No crack on the outside. Don't know how it happened in the first place and it happened to others as well. So I got that piece out through the bulb opening and VOILA !!! The second time around, I just wrapped the entire headlight with bicycle tubing and now the fairing doesn't interfere with the headlight. Go get it !!!

Go get it !!! Mine started making a buzzing noise recently as well, and... the headlight "bucket" had a broken clip in it (probably from a rock hit). The fairing was just holding it together. It's currently held together by packing tape. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
