loud metal to metal engine sound
After stop and go mostly stopped traffic on very hot day in Ga. i could hear my rear cylinder cut in and out (2012 RG) finally got out of the jam and on to an interstate .
Noticeable loss of power and could hear banging noise from engine , no where to pull off highway and i was scared there was major damage to engine , this was not pinging noise . Drove mile or two and noise slowly went away . Rode home to NY (1000) miles and went to dealer where bike was purchased before going home . At this time i had 4k miles on bike . As ther was no noise for the tech to hear he guessed it might have been a hung up intake valve. Has not happened since that one time
Now i want dealer to put what happended on my service record so i will be covered that this started while bike was still under warrenty . They don't want to put it on my service record saying that they never heard any noise
What should and what can i do
Thanks Jackson F.D.N.Y. retired from 9/11

what the hell is a "hung up intake valve"?? for years ive heard mis-informed folks talk about "hung up" or "sticking valves".once a valve sticks,its stuck and the only thing that will free it is the piston hitting it,and even if the spring free`s it,& only sticks for a split second,damage is done (either scoared guide/valve or bent valve)and should be addressed
