my Peugeot speed fight is makin a rattling noise when im riding it sounds like somethings loose coming from kick start area. when i start it up it always trys to cut out at first when i get on it then it ok after 5mins or so.

then i would make sure the stand isnt vibrating against the exhaust or engine when its up ,it's common for them to do that a rubber stopper should be between them but they fall off ok good luck.

hi there adam it does it when its off the stand.

the rattling could be a manner of things so the best thing to do is take off the transmission cover and have a look if you think its from there,there are about 12 8mm hex headed bolts holding it on DONT take the kickstart lever off though it stays in situ.most rattling comes from loose exhaust pipe internals and centre stands rattling on the engine in the stand up position,does it do it on the stand or off the stand or both?
