Has any other owners experienced harsh vibration and loud clacking at idle in nuetral that disappears when clutch is engaged? Valves also seem rather loud and rattling at various rpm below 4200. I just purchased tues and have roughly 220 miles on it staying under 6200 rpm per break in rules!
Yea, the slipper clutch. My KTM SMR was really loud.
Do you have previous experience with this powertrain or another readily accessible to compare it to?Quote:

Without hearing it (obviously), I would guess that you're hearing normal mechanical noise from the engine. It definitely makes some mechanical noises that are rarely an indication of any problem.
It's normal, mine does the same thing
Ive ridden 07 zx6r that had a recall for shim bucket failure, somewhat simalar sounds. I also had 09 xb12 firebolt, but it was harley engine nothing near the same. Bike runs well, just at low rpm around 3,000 awful lot of mechanical noise coming from engine area when loaded in gear. it doesnt make noise when not in gear and throttled. new to this engine setup, curious if this is normalQuote:

More cam lift, more compression, larger bore - it all can add up to more mechanical noise.
I know this post is a little old and you probably have a lot more miles accumulated and have done some maintenance since new, but I have found on my bike that that a looser than spec chain will make the noises you described.
