Hi all, I just purchased a Suzuki GS500 as my first bike. I'm not sure if this is an issue or not but when my bike revs high on a low gear I hear a hollow vibrating noise coming from the front part of the engine or fork area. Any ideas what this noise could be or if I should be concerned?
is the gas tank half empty? normally mine vibrates the gas tank.
No. I thought that too, but same noise occurs whether tank is full or empty
Hi Nelsonsh, welcome to the forum!
Are the bolts that hold the front fender on tight? That's my first thought.
Sounds like it could be the same issue i had with mine.

I think this may be my issue as well, can you post a pic of where you were talking about on the bike. I couldn't make sense of the picture you posted, since I'm away from my bike atm

Is the front gas tank rubber in place?
It was on the underside of the plastic fairing situated just in front of / below the speedo/tachometer assembly. You'll have to remove it to have a look.
As I described in my original post i linked to: The plastic was simply rubbing or well rather vibrating against the metal tube "framework" below it., creating the noise.
