Hello I'm a newbie here, Daughters 500 has a knocking noise coming from the rear, I have cable tied any thing loose to see it stopped but no. shockers look ok. Would appreciate any ideas or thoughts on what it could be. Cheers Chris

does the noise slowly fades away when trying to stop?

Hi, and welcome,

is it a road surface related noise, or a speed hump / pot hole only one..?

I'd empty the boot / look under rear seat 1st. - loose spare..??

:idea: unless its almost new ( the 500 can be up to 9 years old now..)
I would put cable ties around the exhaust bungees, as that'll stop excessive swing on tired rubbers.


good luck, and do let us know what you find..,

(I think mine might need doing too.)
