Fairing vibration "buzz" Empty Fairing vibration "buzz"

Morning all,

Over the last few weeks, the old girl has developed a rater annoying "buzz" through the fairing of my 1200K6 (current bodywork, old engine). It didnt help that it decided to fall off its sidestand as I was opening the gate at home Mad

The buzz was kicking in right at 4000rpm, just where I didn't need to hear it, even with earplugs in.

I stripped the fairing off the bike and after reassembly found that it was gone, only to reappear at 2000rpm!!!

What tricks or suggestions does anyone have?

BTW, I think the bike looks pretty good with the headlight unit and no fairing. I was thinking a bit of streetfighter work could be on the cards. Smile

So by removing the fairing the "buzz" dropped from 4 to 2 .If you do it one more time ,i should be gone. ( my way of wanting a pic of fairing removed)

I was waiting for that Wink

Probably on the weekend I will attempt another go at it. I will get some pics to start a " how can Smitty 'fighter the girl whilst retaining the factory headlight unit" thread.

Mine had a buzz that I couldn't identify, turned out to be the screen, jammed a couple of earplugs between the screen and fairing, and buzz gone.

My 02 Bandit has had a buzz fromt he fairing/screen for the last 40,000km. I'm so used to it I can almost tell how many revs I'm doing by the frequency of the buzz. Although, since fitting the new pipe the buzz has changed....

My K8 did the same and it drove me nuts. It turned out to be the screen mount bolts loosening a little. A careful tightening (don't crack the screen) sorted it.
