Re: Versys Big Day Out :)

What's the normal cause of the buzzing then? Two pieces of fairing rubbing together just around the bottom edge of the screen. Easily fixed with a 1" strip of adhesive foam rubber. Brilliant bike overall though. Tried an NC700 this week and wouldn't change for the Versys (650) if you paid me (...
