Lugging the engine? What I'm trying to explain is, town or city type riding such as light to light or in traffic. While going through the gears I have a buzzing somewhere around the small windscreen area or maybe the frame head covers but can't seem to pinpoint it. I'm wondering if anybody else with a Ballabio has the same buzz or do I need to keep looking. I'm thinking the shield may just resonate and thats what they do. I don't know. I've ridden Guzzi's a long time and it's not an issue of riding it like a Harley. At speed it purrs but the police around Arizona make me go the same speeds as everyone else. I've experienced the same thing ( buzzing ) with metal tanks and isolated the tank from the frame with success but this is a plastic tank. Also what makes it different then past problems like that with a tank was they changed according to the fuel level and this hasn't. As I said, it's just an annoyance I would like to get rid of.
On OBNDs post ( boy I'm slow at typing ): I re-glued the blanket and the headers are tight, even the cross over.
Thanks to both of you, I'll keep hunting. Crap, I got something to do besides my life long quest of hunting and killing house ants.
