Hey guys, I have a problem. I should probably say that first off, I've followed the manual's break-in instructions to the letter. I haven't dropped, hit anything with, or otherwise abused my busa.
I took my baby out for a 100 mile ride this afternoon, (now at about 730, and going in for the first checkup on thursday) and on my way home, I thought I heard a weird clicking sound under me. At first I assumed it was gravel or sand getting kicked up by the front tire, or the chain bing a little loose. Eventually I pulled over and checked the chain tension, which wasn't too bad. I drove it back to my place, and kept hearing the noise. Pulling it into my garage, letting it idle in neutral I was able to tell that it sounded like an irregular metallic clicking noise under the faring in the general area of the engine/trans.
Is this something I should be really concerned about? is it safe to ride until I take it in for service? Should I trailer it the 15 miles to the dealer, at that? Have any of you had similar experiences?
Thanks for your input.
