Default rattling noise?

Hi

I own a 2007 gsxr 750

the other day i let one of my friends do a wheelie on my bike but when he landed it, he dropped it down too aggressively and now when i ride it, i can hear a rattling.

Any idea which part of the bike i should a detail check to find the cause of the rattling?

Nothing seems loose or out of place when i did just like an exterior check of it

Thanks

I had a Yzf600 that had that problem intermittently. It wasn't after popping a wheelie, but from long drives on poor roads.

Anyways, the culprit was some loose screws that held a few pieces of the top trim/bodywork together. Tightening that got rid of the rattle.

I'd check that, cabling and your light assembly for starters.

...and stop having your squid buddies doing wheelies on your new ride!

learn how to wheelie yourself

all this difficult on the bike, increase in maintenance.

only you know there the noise is from, for example if under the seat maybe some electrical assembly. good idea to find it tho

it seems to be coming from my yoshi pipe, nothing is loose though when i checked everything, i even took it off and reassembled it. still checking every part thoroughly though, just gonna take some time i guess.

and just fyi, i know how to wheelie, he saw me do one the week before and he tried to imitate me, but he doesnt know how to let it down gently
