    XB12R Rattle noise when I get on the throttle

    Thanks, next time I fill up I'll try to get a higher motor octane number. Will report back.

    XB12R Rattle noise when I get on the throttle

    Primary tension is within spec, thanks for the explanation 303. Wiggle2, it sounds like your bike is doing the same thing as mine. I do run at lower revs than most other Buell riders I've met and lug it a bit. Do you think it's worth worrying about? It normally doesn't ping and it's easy for...
