I just bought an 07 busa with 26,000mi. I noticed some clunking noise in the engine when I start it cold. The noise is like a bunch of marbles in a plastic container... no sharp pings, just dull "klug-klug....klug". If I engage the clutch the clunking goes away. When I'm cruising at speed (any gear) I can feel the clunking in my feet (I'm sure the noise would be there too but the wind and engine noise drown it out!). The bike accelerates very smoothly, no hesitation... just the 'tapping' I feel in the pegs.
Is this something I should be concerned about? I don't know the service history, but the fluids look clean and full, no smoke or bad smells from the engine/exhaust, and I'm averaging 38mpg.
The bike is stock except for a K&N, and the plugs are new.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
