SBF Silverwings / HOM Cafe 2012

It seemed like the Vibration thingy is common for SW.....well, at least the SW600.

 

 

Hi... I had the 3000-3500 RPM buzzing noise on my '04 SWing and finally found it. In my case it was the lock retainer for the left-side storage box. This retainer is a push-in strap about 2 inches long that is on the inside of the dash on the left side. It is used to hold the lock in place. I think it is longer than really necessary to allow for easy removal or replacment of the lock without major disassembly of the bike. When I put the bike on the tri-stand and revved it up enough to hear the buzzing, I could actually see this strap vibrating. Here is how you can check for this problem and fix it if it is the source of your buzz:

 

1. Remove the right side strorage box, as you would to check or fill the radiator overflow tank. This will allow you to look for the strap and remove/install it if necessary.

 

2. Remove the 3-piece plastic handlebar covers. This will provide better visibility of the strap and provides another hand entry when reinstalling the strap (if the handlebars are turned all the way to the left).

 

3. Locate the lock retainer strap. It is a gold or brass-colored strap positioned horizontally between the left storage box and the left side dash. The end of the strap has a right-angle tab (which allows it to be pulled out by hand). It is pretty close to the dash plastic, which is why there is a buzzing noise when it is vibrating.

 

4. Determine if this is the source of your buzz by slowly revving up the bike (on the tri-stand, of course and being careful not to let the wheel touch the ground) until you hear the buzz. When you do, look at the end of the strap. In my case, I could see it vibrating just like a tuning fork. Also, the buzzing would go away sometimes just because the strap accidentally got moved when I locked the left storage box -but is also came back just as easily. I did not use the parking brake during this step because I was concerned about unnecessary wear on the V-Belt.

 

5. If your strap is vibrating, here is how to fix it: Reach in through the right side storage box opening and grasp the strap, pulling it toward the right side of the dash. Its a tight fit for your arm through this opening but I have pretty large arms and I was able to do it. BE SURE NOT TO DROP THE STRAP or you might have to dissasemble a lot of plastic to recover it! Also be aware that there is now nothing holding the lock in place -I removed the key before I pulled the strap out. The lock only goes in one way so dont worry if it falls out (it probably wont fall out anyway).

 

Now that you have the strap in your hand, the fix is easy. Simply add a piece of adhesive-backed foam rubber to the flat side opposite the pull-tab (in other words, the side that goes against the inside of the dash). I used a shortened length of "Honda P/N 64307-MCT-770 (Honda Code 8550220) MAT A, Shock Absorber" because (1) I had one available and (2) it is the same width as the strap. This part costs about $2.50 for a pakage of 2 and is available from your Honda dealer or at http://www.cheapcycleparts.com. You could use almost any adhesive-backed foam as long as it is not so thick that you cannot push the strap back in place.

 

After adding the adhesive-backed foam to the strap, simply put everything back together again. Putting the strap back in place my seem tricky since you don't want to lose it inside the bike. I found that I could help guide the strap by reaching in with my left hand through the handlebar opening as I pushed it in place with my right hand -just be sure that handlebar is turned all the way left so you can reach in at the appropriate place.

 

I hope this helps find and fix your buzzing noise.

 

I have been buzz-free now for about two weeks -and LOVING IT!
