Sound lads.....
I have no problem in putting up with the noise, some of my old jap bikes like the Yamaha XS1100 were as noisey as a badgers ass, I just wanted to be sure that it wasn't anything that needs seen to, or could be expensive if ignored down the road.
The bike is running fine and smooth. The only complaints would be sometimes she labours briefly when pulled from very low revs even in 1st or 2nd gear. The other complaint would be the 1st to 2nd gear change. You want to change gear quickly to get a smooth gear change. If it's anyway up the revs, it can sound if it's crunching its way into gear.
