Hi, I've been using the bike a quite a bit recently and its been running great, until today, cos of the high winds this morning on my way home from work I kept the speeds down to a reasonable level, however about 15 mins into my journey I started to notice a wierd sound, like a chirping/rattling sound, it would only appear when I hit 30 and as soon as I dropped below it it would dissapear. I thought at first it might have been a loose panel, but also had a nagging doubt it could be my electric fan coming on, Ive just been out on it now and its not doin it, typical, Ive checked my fluid levels and it all seems good, any ideas ? Ive not had a single prob since I bought the bike btw, just a bit perplexed and concerned cos the NW3 is just round the corner.
Thanks for any advice

I had a similar sound at one time, it wasnt there the next time I was out. I think it was the loose change in my pocket
