he said I should hear it when they drain and change the oil. The noise will go for about 10 seconds. Anyway I am going to get it checked out when it is serviced.

I'm trying to think of a polite way of saying he's full of shit.
From time to time I can here a little cam chain rattle on the right side at start up with both of our bikes, but it is not loud.
After a oil change the noise only lasts for 1 or 2 seconds.

When my wife had a K1300S, there were two times her cam chain had a loud rattle for 10 seconds or more. I paid to have the tensioner replaced.

My LC motor is significantly noisier than my pal's late model aircooled GSA. It also gets a bit nasty when it's hot and bothered.

Mine has rattled on cold start from new. Still don't like it bit it's a case of "they all do that sir" which is true I think as everyone I'[ve ridden has done it.

After years of K bikes I was surprised how noisy the LC R1200 was at idle.
I read one report where the rider mentioned the new R1250 was quieter, which is a good thing.

Hi Fugly!

Is that Ducati in your avatar?

Does it have the dry clutch?

You must have great hearing for the rattles in the RS after riding on the Hari Krishna cacophony of loud Ducati pipes and the incessant rattle of the clutch in traffic.

I just use the Sena bluetooth headset coupled with the NAV V and my (mainly) Country Music collection. Yee Ha.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Yes, that my 998S and currently lives in the dining room but will come out in the Spring for an outing or Two.

Always loved big twins (fnar, fnar)

Have a silly big-bore Tuono in the garage that makes the 998 seem docile

Mine does the same on start up after a lay up, good advice is to always use the centre stand to help prevent oil draining down from the RH cylinder.
