Red face Warm up Blues.....

Everyday when I start up the bike, it seems to run so smooth....acceleration is crisp, and it's QUIET!

Once it warms up...the ticking creeps in...the crisp acceleration fades away, and the engine sounds like a 350 Chevy from my old Camaro ....with bad lifters.

I only have 4300 miles on it...does anyone else have this valve/lifter noise? What can be done to alleviate it?

Weird. Are you sure its valve noise and not piston slap?

Have you a download or a tuner to go with the pipes and cleaner?
