Took the bike to work today and was listening out very carefully on the way home, visor open leaning in close to the engine. So carefully that I almost drove into the kerb at one point! Anyway the sound is actually from the exhaust can I've now realised, fairly certain anyway, it must be some weird harmonic thing or a vibration but definitely not engine related so I am relieved about that. My Mivv exhaust has been on for a couple of thousand miles now so maybe some of the packing is wearing in a bit, it's pretty bassy though even with the baffle in.
The bike almost at 29k now and I think I'll get the valve clearances checked at 30k just to be safe. Does anyone know how much that costs roughly? I know how to do it, but I don't have a nice clean and covered from the elements area to work in and have never attempted it before so wouldn't want to mess anything up. I also don't have feeler gauges so think its worth leaving to a professional.
