Crew, I'm getting some unwanted rattles under acceleration on my Kat. The bike was laid over before I bought it and I am in the process of reparing the fairings. I was looking up fairing bolt kits to complete the work once all of the pieces are back in order and I noticed alot of rubber washers go with the kits. Many of the fairing bolts on the bike as is are not accompanied by any kind of rubber washer - they just go through the plastic into the metal where they bolt in. I did notice rubber washers around the outer windscreen bolts. Although I don't expect washers to solve the rattling, I am wondering if there are washers missing elsewhere (that were omitted by previous owners). Does anyone know what bolts are supposed to have rubber washers on them on a 2005 Katana?
As far as the rattle, its quite pronounced and is coming from somewhere under the instrument cluster. It is most pronounced under hard acceleration. I can't think of a way to describe it any better, but, something is definately lose. I will update when I know more.
