    Default RT Buzzing Issue?

    I have a 2015 RT Ltd. with about 5000 miles on it. Recently I am hearing a "Buzzing" coming from what appears to be from the dash area? at around 3000 RPM in road gear. If I let off the throttle it goes away and immediately reappears when I apply throttle again? Any thoughts on what it may be?

    Have you tried putting your hand on various parts and pieces of the dash, when the buzzing occurs?
    Something isn't nailed down correctly...

    Since we're talking about 3thousand , in gear, you probably won't "feel" anything. I think the idea is you push a couple places and see if the buzz goes away, and then you at least know what is loose, or clashing, or whatever.

    Me personally, I cannot have the distraction of doing the "hand diagnosis" rolling down the road, and I'm not particularly traffic
    challenged here. Good Luck !

    Perhaps a wiring harness behind a panel?

    If somebody asks for help: we can only do what we can, to help them out...
    We've been asked to diagnose a buzz in the dash. I doubt that any of us will ride over to the O.P.'s house, and find it for them, so we can only offer suggestions from long distance...
    It's not the ideal situation!

    If I can't determine anything, I'll just have Pitbull check it on next visit to Springfield, MO. Thanks for you all suggestions

    Sometimes it's just harmonics. A particular body panel may buzz at/around a certain RPM. Bikes with lots of Tupperware are known to do that.

    if it's really annoying, and you can isolate the body panel, a bit of sticky-back, foam door seal tape will fix things.
