I think that I shared how I thought the top end on my V700 was about to blow. Turns out is was the metal generator covers vibrating against the gen. Then there was the stubby screwdriver in my truck's ash tray. Man that thing had me sweating for awhile!!

You know, I am beginning to suspect the generator. I took off
the front last night and my belt was too loose (rubber dust all
over the place) so I removed a plate to tighten the belt a bit
thinking that would fix the problem but it didn't. It is a very
metallic sounding noise. I am assuming the generator has
bearings? If so I suspect they might be in need of repair.

One other thing I didn't mention before is the noise doesn't
start until after the bike has warmed up a bit.
