been told with confidence what the sound is!
An ozzie bike mechanic i've met in LA claims he knows exactly what this noise is, as he had it on his own goldwing. apparently the sound IS coming from WITHIN the speedometer. There is a slightly bell shaped piece of metal that, if loose, makes the tinkle. The bad news is that as the speedo is factory sealed, you have to be very skilled / lucky to get it apart and back together again in working order.
All of this is unverified, i hasten to add. but this guy just immediately said 'yep, he knew what that was...' when i started describing the sound. apparently you can get second hand klr speedos on ebay...
