all,
im new to the 9 (coming from an M90) and i just want to validate the engine idle sound. when the bike is idling (cold or hot), it basically makes a knocking sound. once i start rolling, it seems to smooth out. its fairly loud but i cant tell if its up in the cylinder heads or down low.
i searched a bit, but wasnt sure if any of the posts i found were covering the sound i hear.
on the M90, i did not hear this. is this just normal idle sound becuase of the larger engine?
i just want to make sure that im not overlooking something that should be addressed. i checked the oil and it seems to be at the right level.
thanks for any insight.
(UPDATE): it seems like its only from the rear cylinder and up towards the top
