Sunday on a simple dirt road I also started to hear a metallic bell noise.
I looked for stones around the underbody and I modified the steering damper as you can see, but the noise persists. I tried to ride without it too.
In these two evenings I checked everything that could be checked and now I have serious doubts that it is the torque converter or worse the gearbox.
In the next few days I try to go to BMW and the dealer
Howd you get it out?
I heard this on a trip in Maine. The “bell” sound. I was told it’s normal if you hit a hard bump, which I had. I asked, “Where is it coming from?” I was told the steering stabilizer. Fast forward a few months and I purchased the Fox ATS (super easy install) from Agile. Took off the old Bilstein and while doing so, I tapped the housing by accident. There was the bell noise. The guard on that factory unit is almost like a darn tuning fork. Not sure how that bell sound occurs while underway and hitting a bump but it does. Haven’t heard it since I put on the Fox ATS—which BTW, was nearly magical after I put it on. Don’t get me wrong, the factory unit is VERY durable and VERY stiff but the Fox ATS is pretty darn impressive.
Yeah similar situation here! We figured the sound was a rock hitting metal underneath. When we heard one ding it was "buy a round for the bar"....and sometimes we heard two in rapid successing "ding ding" and that meant the train was leaving the station....LOL
we had the same thing in our group this past weekend running Argentine pass - of the 4 of us with Grenny's, 3 were ringing church bells all day long, lol
Hahahah! We ran up thru Guanella pass and the Geneva campground road 119? up to the mine and the Iron Fens…fun day but not to self don’t do it on a Sunday….traffic was insane.
