SilvrT Posted April 1, 2012 #1 Posted April 1, 2012 I got this weird rattling sound when I pull in the clutch lever on my Wing.... Listen carefully. Ya, I know, it's a "whiner" but mostly only noticable when idling and apparently fairly normal for a Wing. But that rattling sound doesn't seem "normal" to me. Can anyone guess what it is?
wrenchrob Posted April 1, 2012 #3 Posted April 1, 2012 Thats your bike saying trade me in for a second gen
Marcarl Posted April 1, 2012 #4 Posted April 1, 2012 The best I could guess from what I heard was a throw out bearing. So there,, that makes 2 of us, do you believe it now?

SilvrT Posted April 2, 2012 Author #6 Posted April 2, 2012 All interesting replys; however, the sound is actually coming from a small coffee grinder that I was activating simultaneously with the squeezing of the clutch lever. ... and what day did I post this? APRIL FOOLS!!!

Marcarl Posted April 2, 2012 #8 Posted April 2, 2012 Knew it had something to do with a bearing,,, and now I know,,,, guess it was all in your head.

RedRider Posted April 2, 2012 #12 Posted April 2, 2012 That sound is your Wing wanting to be a Ducati. RR
