May have posted this before. I have the 2016 America LT with 10,000 miles that’s been a great machine, but has developed a “rattling” sound primarily at 65 mph (indicated) and 4th gear. The rattle dossipates when shifted into 5th gear. I have detected the rattle at 55 mph in 3rd gear, and a tiny bit at 75 mph in 5th gear.This has driven me nuts trying to find the source. It sounds a lot like tin foil being rubbed together, or a few bb’s being shaken in a coffee can. Not loud, but just loud enough that irritates me. I’ve taken off the windshield, swapped exhaust systems, replaced the chain and adjusted the chain per batum from the manual, adjusted (shimmed) valves, checked cam chain tensioner, removed saddlebags, and inspected the bike meticulously for anything loose, but the rattle persists.
I thought maybe it was coming from the speedometer and disconnected it,but bike wouldn’t do ANYTHING, and gave a “check engine” light, which was rendered by disconnecting the battery. I’ve asked our local Triumph service manager, Triumph Tech support, all of which have never heard of this rattle on ANY bike. I’ve just learned to live with it, and figured this was why the bike was traded in.
