Check the center bracket that lifts the screen up and down and make sure it is not cracked.

Always never run with it all the way up or down. It may cause it to crack.

Usually, it only takes about a helf-inch or so off the lowest position; to keep it from rattling against the stops (And ultimately failing! :yikes

Oh! Are the four bolts that hold the windshield on the bracketry tight? You'll have to remove the chrome trim on the windshield, and then you can see the bolts... :thumbup:

Yes they are and they have been tighten or checket 2 or 3 times. Now, going slowly with helmet on and off my seat I can hear the noise but damn it, can´t identify it. Seems to me that the rubbers are dry or something like that. Who the hell knows. The brackets are no broken so don´t know...the mistery of the Y windshield...Any other help or suggestions would be great!

I doubt that this is it... but it's worth a thought!
I just got a new helmet, and as soon as I stick my head up into the airstream, I get all sorts of snapping, popping, creaking, groaning, and crackling. :yikes:
It turns out that it's the visor on the helmet... :gaah: Tonight, I'm going over it, and tightening everything up!
