LOL - I was only wondering if you had added a windshield to the bike recently. Sound travels differently with a windshield or fairing. You can hear the front cylinder sounds where you couldn't before.

No Its not the windshield. Sure its coming from front exhaust? maybe if I check torque was told its common but I havent seen it before. It (the noise) kinda changes when temp of motor changes ? Thanks
