rattling noise from front of CG125

[danzai66]

was buzzing happily along marylebone road when this noise like someone shaking a smarties tube with a pea in it came from the front of the bike.

resisting bailing off, it stopped a few seconds later.

is this something that anyone has had?

should i be worried? (me noob. me the jade goody of bike knowledge)

cheers

dan.

Did it start again after?

could be looooooads of things, is your oil up as far as it should be? have you had any maintainance done recently to it? has it played up in the past?

its only started in the last few days.

true - i should have had a look more - but in these days of google and the discovery channel - who needs initiative..?

in this case, me i guess..

I've had a rattling from my CG, turned out to be the engine bolt underneath the right hand side panel snapping, check that for play.

cool. cheers.

in my quest for motorcycular perfection i managed to buy a right hand mirror off ebay.

when i need a left one.

here's hoping it's reversible.

arse.

although in my own defense i had just been leading my troop of donkeys into yet another annoying defeat in battlefield Vietnam.

hence my rational faculties were a bit low.

and crap excuses high.
