I've had rattles in mine when the rear aftermarket bashplate mounts broke, and when the centrestand bolts came loose. Also if the you have one, the centrestand buffer rubber can break off, also causing rattles.

Going over bumps could be a giveaway. Just something loose, one would think.

The last thing I can imagine to be a problem, is where the shock is bolted onto the frame
It feels OK and I can wiggle it with slight movement

Everything else has been taken apart and greased properly

I think I'm going slightly mad - think there is a Queen song about it :D

It's just a rubber metalastic type bush at the top, so movement is perfectly normal here. They can squeak though if they get dry. Silicone lube or grease helps in this respect.

I think I found the noise
After a lot of money spent, a lot of pulling hair, etc, etc, etc
I hammered with my hand on the exhaust cover shield end there was my noise, or so I hope
Took it off and went for a ride over bad road, no more noise, almost can't believe my ears, hope this was it

That's a fairly common issue, caused by the upper of the two screws that hold the cover on being too long from the factory and making contact with the pipe. However, the symptoms are normally a buzzing sound at certain rpms, rather than a rattle.

See this thread: http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=18033

Anyhow, if it's fixed your rattle, then the job's a good'un!

That jub-jub clip looks a bit skiwif?

Damn, forgot to mention that issue. I did mine ages ago because I just happened to read the thread. Made a difference, for sure.

Dual 20-12-16 14:22

What is the jub-jub clip?

Dual 02-01-17 16:50

I still sometimes have that rattling, getting quite fed up with it
Look everyday for the problem and solution
Saw today that the chain have a lot of play sideways on the sprocket, tough though to pull it back from the teeth, sprocket look good to me, no shark teeth

Looks normal to me? Try a healthy application of a good chain lube & see what happens. I find the wax one's work really well here in dry dusty conditions.
