My Ambo made strange motor noises when I first got it from John
Chicoine.

I found a nice set of ear plugs and got @ 100pair. Now its quite as a
mouse. :>)

yup! I ended up putting radiator hose between the gen and the metal
cover to keep things quiet. Sure did give me the willies until I
figured out the source.

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.
