Jingling sound above 4k?

[Whitey04]

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? It’s driving me nuts. Once I get around 4k or higher I hear what sounds like jingling not bells jingling but a pocket of change jingling. Thought it might be a bracket at just the right vibration but nothings loose, thought maybe fairing but same. I’m guessing it’s maybe just engine noise I’m just not use to yet. But on throttle, cruising doesn’t matter same noise. Looking to see if you guys have the same. If so I’ll turn off the paranoia machine. Thanks.

No jingling on mine

I think I found it. The triple tree stem top nut was loose. Wtf.

Consider yourself lucky the setup guy forgot about it. On my bike the setup monkey crumbled up that expensive nut and scratched the top clamp around it.

I had both well nuts for the windreen missing. They put in some cap nuts with the wrong pitch to hold it in. Luckily, the first thing I did was replace the windscreen. Then promptly order the proper well nuts...‍

That sucks, I would have figured this nut comes from the factory already installed and torqued.

This isn’t the first issue I’ve had on this bike. I’ve got about 450 miles on it now and the first hundo was all about trying to start a locked up engine. Which turned out to be the wrong gas by the dealer non the less.

I would not go back to that dealer........EVER!

DUDE! I seen some of your posts in another thread but i didn’t want to commandeer there thread. Before I bought this thing I’ve watched almost all your videos on this bike. Your videos were related to what I was looking to use this bike for which was distance riding. Your like a rockstar in my house. Learned a lot from you and thanks for that.

And since the dealer also didn’t provide me an owners manual I learned how to use the dash from Busadepot on YouTube. He’s a pretty cool guy too. He also made a video on the gas issue as well.

You are most welcome good sir, the busa is fantastic on long rides. Got any road trip plans for 2024?

Yeah, never, ever go back there, they don't deserve your time or hard earned money.

It’s really hard to find good help these days… can’t expect the minimum wage porter to know things like thread pitch. I wouldn’t even blame the porter actually. It’s probably more of the boss the runs him ragged and doesn’t take the time to teach.

With social media these days, a dealership doing something like that can be a death knell if you were inclined to go that route....

In the bygone days people would just cover their vehicles in plastic lemons and put the dealership name on it....it didn't take long for the dealership to cave in and do whatever it took to get rid of those yellow lemons....

Especially around here where there's a big military base....

Was thinking tail of the dragon again this year, did it about 5 years ago and had a blast. Not a bad road anywhere out there.
I’m from the Chicago area and I’ve always wanted to do the Lake Michigan circle with the ferry from Wisconsin to Michigan might do that one also.

Yeah, never, ever go back there, they don't deserve your time or hard earned money.

It’s gets better. I bought this bike from them because they had it cheaper then anyone is the area and the color I wanted. The dealer is 3 hours from me so I did most of the deal through the phone. I drove down there one day to sign the paperwork. They didn’t ask me for any kind of id, I could have been anyone. The finance manager wasn’t there so a receptionist did all my paperwork. I had them trailer the bike to me for insurance purposes and they trailered it on the side stand with a strap around the both rims. There crappy straps scratched up the rims which I fixed. I later called them out on there bullshit and a manager from a sister dealer I got the feeling really wanted to make things right but the manager from the actual dealer that called me back couldn’t have given less of a poop. Just excuses. The last bike I bought was a Ducati and that dealer was top notch for everything. I feel like the Japanese bike dealers are dying a slow death. There’s only one Suzuki left around me and there not that great either.

Not just Japanese bikes....dealerships for all brands are shrinking.....

The motorcycle industry as a whole is suffering, less people are riding than before mostly due to the fact they can't afford to.

Even our motorcycle training course has packed up and left leaving the closest training classes 1 1/2 hr away....

Not sure where your from but around here the Harley dealers are very busy with training courses. At least from my outside view. And there are no shortage of Harley dealers either. But the cost of these things have gone bananas. I can’t believe I paid almost 20 large for this thing. Harleys base big twin is almost the same. But you don’t see a lot of new sport bikes rolling around. Every kid out here seems to buy a beater throws on some bars hides there plate, don’t forget about the open header pipe and tries there hardest to give the rest of us a bad name. I know I sound old but dude it’s squid central out here.

The nearest HD dealership is almost 2 hrs away and they don't hold any training courses, the only training courses are offered through the local college and are sanctioned by the government...I used to teach them for a couple years.

Same, cruisers both metric and HD rule here, rarely do we see any other sort of bike other than an adventure tourer.

Mostly people could care less about my Hayabusa...if I pull into say a coffee shop or the like, it doesn't even get a second glance.....now if a new side by side or lifted pick up where to pull in, they'd be all eyes....

....and we have lots of police patrolling, they will pull you over pretty quick if they can't see your plate.

So many ride without plates here. Its nuts. They had fools on dirtbikes on the National Mall last summer. Ive been in a few group rides where they dont stop for lights at all. Its completely different here. If you all want to see a different side to bikelife come the the DMV or I can share you my youtube channel.

We have had these "swarm" bikers in Toronto and I saw videos of that and just shook my head at the stupidity of it all...

There is very little wonder that most citizens are sick and tired of motorcyclists and have little remorse if they go down...

Up here in the sticks, it's quite a bit more subdued....add to this a very short riding season to boot.
