CBF 125 front end rattle?

[Screw Loose]

Aloha,

Recently I've noticed that my CBF 125 has a rattle, seems to be from the front end, although last week I noticed a 'clicking' noise and found out that my split link had been put on the wrong way round (the part which closes the link was at the already closed end ).

Any idea what it could be? Thought it might be my 'L' plates rattling but I think thats unlikely, I'll be getting rid of them in the coming months anyways.


Cheers for any help in advance

I would check the torque of all the nuts and bolts around the front end. The exhaust mounting bolt on my cbf wriggled lose before and it made the bike sound funny under deceleration. The haynes does have check nuts and bolt torque every 5k as part of the routine maintenance.

Crazy about the split link, lucky the chain didnt come apart.
