Evening guys,I have a small rattling sound,sounds like its coming from the area under/near my tank.
Only does it when bike is in neutral.is this a normal thing or theossibilities of something much worse?

It's a sv650s 1999

Many thanks!!!

loose tank?

Found out recently that my tank was slightly loose, enough to vibrate because the foam underneath it had compressed too much. with your bike in neutral, put a hand under each side of the tank and gently lift up, stopped my vibey rattle.

Mine rattles in neautral and less so when the cluitch is in, think its normal. Valve train running, mines only done 4000 and its a 2007.

Well thats my opinion.
