Engine lid vibration

Hey all,

The engine lid on my S1 is vibrating quite badly when I hit certain rev points or when I lift off the throttle. It's really annoying.

The lid came off over the winter as it got a re-spray so I assume it was perhaps not fitted back on as well as it could have been.

I was just wondering what the best way was to try and reduce the vibration?

Any help appreciated :thumbsup

-Mark.

I would guess, assuming all the correct fasteners and washers etc were used to re-fit, that's it's trial and error to get it seated where it lines up perfectly so it doesn't vibrate. Could be an annoying exercise to go through :blackeye
