Maybe im paranoid but i feel that my valvetrain has gotten louder over the past 2 weeks. Around 5000rpm you can really here the lifters and springs working. Its not like horribly loud like some old buick or anything, but the trained ear hears it. I checked the oil level with the bike on the side stand and the oil level was at the bottom bar. When off the side stand and having run for 10 minutes the level is at the top bar so i doubt its a lack of lube. Anyways i was just wondering if anyone else had this and if its something to lose sleep over or not. . . oh ya btw the bike only has 1500 miles on it.

What kind of oil are you running? 20W-50 or 10W-40?

Well then it might just be you. There's nothing wrong with that oil. It might be the fuel injectors you're hearing also.

ya i had a feeling its just me being paranoid and anal about the bike. Seeing as the bike runs flawlessly im not going to worry
