Vibrating bell sound… I think it coming from the left front ?

[Billbathgate]

New 2021 Spyder F3S 1330 SE6 ….I’ve been hearing this faint vibrating bell sound since I purchased it in June told the dealer about it the next day so they told me to bring it back so they could have a look at it ….with me driving over the road it’s been kinda hard for me to take the trip up to Bensalem, Pa. so to make a long story short I just waited until I had my 1st oil change done ….I got my 1st oil change @ 2000 miles I know it was a little early but I had a 20 off coupon and I really wanted to know what the sound was coming from ….was told by the mechanic that everything was checked and nothing was loose and that I would have to come back and leave it so that they could further diagnose to find out where the noise was coming from ….that was 1000 miles ago so I just learned to live with it …..I seen a post of someone having the same problem and something wasn’t tightened when they aligned their belt for tension….they left pics but they had a 900 cc spyder and the back axle setup looked a little different to me ….

Any suggestions of where to check would be greatly appreciated

Are tou sure that some friend of yours did not attach a gremlin bell to your new ride?

 

[Billbathgate]

If that’s not a joke …. I don’t have any friends that ride and it’s garage kept so the only person who had access to it would of came from the dealership

 

[bigbadbrucie]

No, I assure you that it was not a joke reply, and I think that if the dealer had attached one, the service department would know about it. I’m sorry if my original reply upset you....that was not my intention.

 

[Billbathgate]

No I wasn’t upset just didn’t know how to answer if it was a joke …..no worries it’s not a ringing sound it’s more like if a old school style alarm clock bell was vibrating a faint vibrating bell sound I can’t even hear it if I have a helmet on but if I’m city riding with shades on I can definitely hear it ….just was wondering if anybody else experienced this if it normal that’s ok …I’ll just live with it ….

Sorry I can’t help with that...first thing is I’m hard of hearing, so if mine does that, I wouldn’t hear it anyway, and second, up here in British Columbia helmets are mandatory 100% of the time. As for my gremlin bell answer, just trying to eliminate possibilities. Hpefully someone else will chime in shortly. Good Luck. Oh, welcome to SpyderLovers!

Brucie's reply was not a joke. In fact, as I read your post, I was thinking "gremlin bell installed by previous owner", then re-read your post and saw "New 2021 Spyder F3 ..."

My suggestion would be to find a ripply road to see if you can replicate the sound reliably. That would help to isolate where it's coming from.
