A Beautiful weekend

After a great ride with a fellow Bandit rider, I thought I'd give the bike a thorough clean and check.

Scrubs up really well, especially using Turtlewax Ice

  1. Immaculate! I have the same bike (2008) in silver, but it is certainly not as shiny and bright. I was wondering if I could pose a Bandit question - I now have 32K on the Bandit and a few weeks ago started to notice a "buzz" coming from either the instrument cluster or fairning in 2nd or 3rd between 3000-4000 rpm range. Tried to find something obviously loose or rubbing but to now avail. Have you experienced anything similar? Much appreciated.

  2. Hi George. I suggest you remove the instruments and check the two allen head bolts that secure the far edges of the screen. Failing that it's really trial and error as the plastics can buzz. Often just removing and replacing the instruments and inner fairing can solve things. Check also the fan shroud as they can buzz and it sounds like the fairing

  3. Thanks, I will do a little dismantling in the garage this weekend and see if that settles things.
