My 95 D12 has 21,000 mles on it of which only 73 have been ridden by me. It's ALL new to me so I listening to my motor and chassis sounds and noises, wondering what's normal, what to ignore, and what to worry about and repair. I found this post from March 2004 on Bikez.com. I haven't attempted this remedy yet, but my bike makes the same rattling noise under the same conditions as yours. Does this post sound correct to you more learned experienced owners? Have any of you done this with your own bikes?
Triumph Daytona 1200, (common problems)
"Rattling or a whining noice indicates that your Balancer Shaft needs adjustment. I drove for a whole year irritated by the whining noice and no Triumph dealer could help me. Solution; At the right side below the crankcase cover there is a clamp with two balancer shafts hold at place by the shaft pinch bolts. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver and make adjustments whilst the engine is idling, noting that only one balancer pinch bolt should be slackened at a time. (rattling=too loosely)& (whining=too tightly meshed)."
null
Thanks,
