Have to say I have been through it and I am over it. I just got used to the sound, I only have about 5K on mine now, but the sound is part of the bike. My job has prevented me from doing any seriously long rides since August. I took mine out for the first time in a while for a long ride, and it seemed to not bother me as much.
It appears that engine noise follows me no matter what.... I bought a 2003 Corvette with 33K on the clock in November. It was warm when I bought it, but now that we have cooled down some, I started the car to pull it out of the garage and guess what? Tick tick tick ??? So tons of call later, and to several LS1 experts
I find out it is typical! The engine is aluminum block, with short skirt pistons, When the car is started up in cold weather, it will make some noises until the oil heats up to about 100 degrees! ANother great ride and engine noise?????? REALLY??? ::010:: Oh well I will deal with it!
The engine has a fail rate of around 5% considering the number of LS1 engines......
