Two Wheeling all my life
I have 11,000 miles on Big Blue and the top end was quite when I left for a 1660 mile trip to the Big Bend and back. West of San Antonio the speed limits are 75 mph to 80 mph and in the desert the temperatures were in the 90's and 100's. Out in West Texas it is 50 miles just to go around the block so the Tenere was ridden hard for long periods of time in the heat and fighting head and side headwinds. On the way back on about 60 miles of Interstate 10 at 85 plus mph (GPS) I could hear the top end over the wind noise and my ear plugs. I pulled off to check the oil level and it was okay. I have taken another short 310 mile trip on it and it starts easy and still has the same power just wanted to know is this normal for the Tenere after it gets some miles on it to make this noise? I have heard the same rattling noise in other motorcycle engines and car/truck engines after they have gotten a few miles on them. I am about to take a 3000 mile round trip to Colorado and ride the Rocky Mountains. I want to know if it is okay to ride it or have it worked on.
Thanks
