radiator rock screen vibration

dogdoc · 02-28-2009, 09:27 AM

Well after 3 yrs of trying to stop my radiator from making a tinny vibration sound on deceleration in 1st or 2nd gear, I CURED IT! I had tried 2 other suggestions on previous threads to no avail.

here is my fix. i remove outer shroud(4 bolts). Took 2 Bud Lite bottle caps and hammered them with a hammer on concrete lightly til about only 2/3 as thick. painted with hi=temp black. Slide one in with the rough edges to the front at 3pm and at 9pm. Put back on shroud and go RIDE!

the rock mesh is vibrating on the radiator fins. Im sure you could use other items but since I had just a few beer lids around, it was a cheap fix(FREE).

Ride Easy!
