V85TT Right cylinder Knock after Winter Storage

[timonbik]

I've got 2 Guzzi's,  2008 BB 750 and 2021 V85tt with 30,000km on the clock.   This year when I fired the V85tt up after winter storage there was a very distinct knocking sound coming from the right cylinder.  This lasted for a minute or two then went.away.   Bike seems to run fine now.   IF it had hydraulic lifters I would say one had leaked down but I know it doesn't but is the type of sound it made.   Seems to run fine now.   Fresh oil and filter before storage.  Premium fuel with stabil before storage.  Very strange??? Any ideas.

Just a guess. Parked on side stand leaning to the left? May put the right cylinder in a position that all the oil drains out of the top end and it takes a minute for the oil to get pumped back up top.....
I do not have a center stand on my V85. Left parked when too cold for this fair weather rider. Maybe 3 months......but I do not remember any unusual sounds when first fired up.

The first start of the year on mine is a bit noisy, and accompanied by the red oil warning on the dash for a few seconds.
It worries me but then I decide it's all okay and forget about it until the following year.

Just so you know they have Chinese rings, valves , etc. Lots of parts are out sourced in that country. Not all take a dump only a few. Most likely just oil drain like others said.
