Squeak and rattle
Has anyone had any issues with squeaking and rattling with their goldwing. I have a 2016 1800 with only 2300 miles on it. Since new there is a horrible noise in the front as if the faring will fall off. It is scary loud. Took it to the dealer twice with no results. The squeaking sounds as if it is suspension related. Annoying. I do not think I should have to deal with these issues on a brand new bike. Any ideas?

Re: Squeak and rattle
Get another dealer for starters.
If it is suspension related, first thought is hold the front brake and try to rock the front pushing the handlebars. Does the front end move up and down as it should? How much travel is there up and down? Have someone hold a tape measure on the underside of the lower triple tree and measure to the fork tube trim above the fender.

May be or not related.My 1500 rattled up front.The bushings that connect the brake caliper to the anti-dive valve were gone.
I could wiggle the calipers.New bushings..no noise.
