I got a tube of grease (26,90 NOK ($4,50)) from biltema and got to work!
MMMMM! Nothing like a little grease for the bolts!
I went over the rack, and thightened all the bolts, but the rattling persisted. After a little sound hunting, I found the reason!
The previous owner has mounted a 12v outlet in one of the side covers. I never payed it much attention while removing said covers, but it was loose, and barely hanging on. After a little bit of tightning, the sound was gone :)
There is a crack in the side cove, so I bought some more stuff, this time at Clas Ohlson - Some fiberglass and lamination epoxy for 119,- NOK ($20)
I went over the bike and tightened up a lot of screws. Also figured out the problem with wobbling speedo gauge. Tighten, tighten and tighten the wire =)
All in all, a good session with the bike, it runs a lot smoother now, with less vibrations and not so many weird noises!
