My bikes always made many strange sounds so I've grown used to them. This one just started recently which is why it's been bothering me. The fact that I switched to low octane and it's been 106 degrees here that past few days got me worried.
Its a 2006 with about 8,000 miles on it. Break-in and first service were performed as normal. She's never been down although I did have a minor accident that broke the right hand fairing but the body wasn't hurt at all. I've kept up with all her maintenance aswell. I haven't checked the bolts...
My bike started making this strange noise. The best way a can describe it is to say it sounds like a tazer. I notice it more in the lower gears, especially when she's winding down, but that may be just because I can't hear it when the engine is running high. I'm not very knowledgeable about...

I saw another one today in San Bernarghetto (San Bernardino). This one was black and parked outside of a Sears tire shop near the Inland Center mall. Eventually I will lure one of them onto the board. :D
The problem I have run into is that I can't hear the music once I cross 30mph. If I turn it up loud enough to hear over 30 then I'm going to blow my ear drums after not too long.
