First ride of the year. New buzzing noise. The XB9S callout plate on the timing cover (right side)is loose in the rivets. Anyone have this? Fixed it? |

Drill out the old rivets and install new ones .

Yes, once you remove the stock plate, I think you will find a thicker plate held on by two screws on the horizontal. Might as well pick yourself a new cover! |

Once you have drilled out the old rivets, you might think about threading the rivet holes with a 10/32 tap, and using a threaded fastener such as a stainless allen head in lieu of the rivets. Of course, adding a custom cover, such as this 1999 X1 accessory, is always a good idea.

Drill and tap the holes. Rivets are ridiculous. |

Thanks for the advice but I've decided its the only buzz I'm getting these days. |

Drill rivets and lose cover. Remove cover underneath. The electronics are watertight, and dead weight is the enemy. |
