so I took my bike back to the dealer yesterday as I'm sure it makes a rattling noise (and has done so since the day I bought it) when under any kind of acceleration. Ive only ever driven my old Honda CBR250R single cylinder so tbh I had no idea what a parallel twin should sound like. Anyway the dealer took it for a test ride for me and told me everything sounded fine so I just went with it.
The rattle seemed to be getting louder though so today I stuck my head under the bike and think I found the problem. To me it seems like there is a bolt missing that is supposed to secure the radiator to the chasis here. Now I'm not particularly mechanically minded so I was hoping someone who already had a bike could compare what they have to the photos Ive posted and let me know if they think I'm missing a bolt here or not.
I am able to move the radiator a little bit so it makes sense to me that this could rattle under acceleration but its also possible that Ive got it wrong and its supposed to be like that.
Any help appreciated
Thanks guys
