Thank you

Does it sound like it's coming out of your air cleaner? Like valve noise feeding back through it? If you were on the other side, I would have thought compensator.....
How many miles?

33000 and change and on That side it does sound like its coming from the air cleaner. I will go out now and listen on other side and Make another Video.

Of course I go out to do it and no noise. I will make another video from the opposite side in the morning before its warmed up. Seems like thats when it does it the most, before its warmed up!

How many miles on the bike? Stock lifters? Any mods??? Cams etc? Lifters are always suspect in our beloved 110's. I wouldn't run it without doing some investigating.

33k and some change Bought it used with 25k and as far as I know the lifters are stock as well as cams only things I have done is a Fullsac 2-1-2, FP3, K&N Filter, CFR slip ons. I was just out there with a stethoscope and put it all over engine while running and it makes no funny sounds. If it was the lifters wouldnt I hear that thru the scope? I even placed it all ove Primary and Transmission and all of them just sound like a well oiled machine. No ticking no knocking nothing thru the scope.
