My bike seems to have developed a noise that's not a rattle so not suspecting cam chains etc its more of a jingle like keys gently rattling. If I pull the clutch in and rev the engine it stops so it's only while the engines under load. The Fazer owners club have suggested a loose spacer laying in the downpipes but it's deffo not that. Any sensible suggestions anyone??

A rattle can only be made by something loose mate... have a good look over it. Hopefully you will find something that ain't in your engine!!! But,, is your clutch worn??

Don't think so lime, it's only done 17k and has been well looked after. The clutch feels fine but!!

If it stops when i pull the clutch in it's probably not just something loose or it would happen all the time surely

It is similar to pinking but a bit more jangly. It's not loud but it's deffo not my imagination. Maybe i'm best letting someone else ride it to see what they think eh

An engine will transmit vibes differently with the clutch in,, get the back wheel off the floor and start it and go through the gears,, see if its in the drive chain..

You might have to get it on a dyno to track it down RK.

A jingley jangley rattley noise from the downpipe area definately sounds like pinking to me,especially if it happens under load
