Definitely a Problem, Huston….
Normal ride into work this morning, no hooniganning around just a nice mellow roll in. Lunch time comes up and a quick hop up too the burrito getting place, I have lunch and roll back too work. On the way back too work Im getting as best as I can describe it is what sounds like a crack-clunk sound at about 18/2000rpm I can feel it through bars and the tank. As the rev’s increase the sound changes too a crack-crunch, so I limped into work.
Milage on bike is under 8800, I don’t ride the hair off it or rag on it for the sake of ragging on it but do get on it and get down the road once in a while.
The stealership is picking it up next Thursday, any ideas on what I can tell them other than crack-clunk-crunch. I don’t want too sound like my wife who has bionic hearing of phantom obscure noises…..

Nope, just the pipe.

You don't want it to pop because that would throw metal **** all over your primary.
FuelMoto USA has the Cycle-Rama compensator ramp in stock right now. They got free shipping and all that.

Replacing the comp ramp isn't to bad of a job. I did it in January.
New bolt kit, and Ramp is all you really need if the gasket is good when you pull off the primary cover.

If the comp is loose it would make the racket at idle as well. Does it only make the sound at 1800-2000rpm and above?

Yep that’s where it starts but between my no so good hearing and the pipe I will assume yes and above.
