I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this question but here goes:
We bought our '05 in early Sept. I'm coming off a Triumph Tiger 955i.
I'm trying to figure out if there's something up with the bike or my technique.
Starting out from a standing stop, engine fully warmed, if I keep the engine around 1500 rpm or so all is good, smooth pull away, no noise, nothing.
If I increase the rpm to about 2000 or so there is a real clatter, almost like I'm lugging it. Above 2200 rpm or so it's a bit quieter.
It seems illogical to me that I can pull away away at 1500 rpm without any noise, yet 2000 rpm sounds like a bucket of bolts being rattled.
I adjusted the counter balancer alignment and it made no difference.
Any suggestions?
