Default M50 Tapping noise under Gas Tank - only if under load and clutch engaged
Hello.

Question for anyone who may have experience something similar.

My new M50 makes a 'tapping' noise when under throttle load and when clutch is engaged - right under the chrome gauge tank cover/gas tank.

It does not make this tapping noise when in idle or when cluth is disengaged.

I'm not sure if its valves, tappets, air valve, or perhaps a loose rattling wire or plastic housing of some sort under the tank where a few things are tucked in. Do you have any experience/suggestions on what may be causing this 'tapping' that doesn't happen in idle?

Thanks
