Default M8 engine noise

I am new to the thread and just brought a 2020 Sport Glide. This is my 2nd Harley Davidson I have owned. I have noticed that I get a lot of engine noise coming from the top of the motor. It has 350 miles on it. Would this be normal or should I take it to the dealer to look at. I love the bike.

Normal or not I couldn't tell you. But I would get it to the dealer, that's what the warranty is for.

I was thinking of waiting till the 1,000 mile service. I am going back to the dealer in a few days maybe I will talk it over with him when I am there
