pinging/rattling sound.

yeah. I searched again and found it. Thanks for the info. -
Heard the noise after another long ride in the mountains. Scared me at first because it sounded like it was coming from the bottom end. after a bit, it sounded like a heat shield rattle, but everything is tight. Seems to be coming from the box/ collector under the bike. Anything in there that could come loose?

We took our first ride today in the North Georgia mountains. Bike ran great, still needs the carbs cleaned, but was a lot of fun. Played with the air pressure in the rear with the Warden on the back, seems @ 45-55psi is a good setting. Nice and smooth. All in all, it was a 6 hour ride up and back. She said she loved it and wants to go again next weekend. -

Thanks guys, looks like everything is working just like it is supposed to. I was wondering if anyone has put power to the class while the ignition is on, not just acc. -

Thanks, but I got it working, just wondering about the pressure in the front. -

Well, I pulled the board from the class control unit, and re-soldered all the connections, Boom! Working air system. The front will only pump up to about 21-23 psi though. I stopped the rear at 80psi. Everything seems to work, auto to manual, front/rear,etc. Just wondering about the front pressure. -

Finally found the issue!!!. It was the glass fuses. The signal fuse had broken loose inside. Still looked intact, and even had continuity through my meter, but wouldn't flow the juice. Replaced everything with ATC fuses and all is good. Now the issue is with the CLASS. It shows an E4 error, but it only lights up when switch is in acc.When ignition is on, it stays blank. -

That looks nice and tidy. I checked the class fuse and it was fine. Does power go through the computer and then out to everything? -

Update: Still cant find any obvious issue. Going to change out the fuse holders with ATC type, hoping maybe the glass fuses are crap. Also, forgot to mention that the bike never had power to the CLASS. I have no idea if that has anything to do with the situation. -

The first pic shows the inline fuses the second shows the fuse block and whats left wired in. the third shows the display. No neutral light, fuel gauge etc. What send the info to the display? -

Ok. Checked all fuses. All good. Checked as much wiring I could get to, nothing obvious. I've always been less than proficient with electronics, so that may be part of my problem. Also, the tail light wire leaving the fuse goes to ground, but the fuse didn't blow, but the wire and fuse holder got hot. I hope this project does not go like the other one. Pissed me off because the bike ran good on the way home. I figured I would change the plugs and be golden. -

Thanks for the input. I put an inline fuse for the ignition, headlight and turn signals. The metal prongs started breaking, so thats what started this whole process. Also, when you hit the starter button, the lights go out. I'll try to post up some pics later.
