Title: Front Fender Buzz
Post by: oldsport on April 16, 2004, 02:16:51 PM
Reading the above post about fenders reminded me:

The front fender on my 02 vibrates making a buzzing noise. It seems to be coming from where the fender flares and wraps around the leading side of the fork sliders.  I believe the fender is just touching the forks.

Has anyone else delt with this?  If I remove the wheel, can it be adjusted out where the fender bolts to the fork brace?

I guess the easy fix is to sumush some foam into the space between fender and fork.

Yeah, do a good tightening of bolts... I didn't know what was making that sound after I did a lot of work on it... then discovered my front fender would make this obnoxious roaring buzz once I got up to about 5-6k rpm  :oops:

Check bolt tightness on everything periodically...
