I know, you've heard it all before. The engine is more tikkety-clickety on the left than on the right.
It's only got fifty-several thousand miles on it, they're noisy by nature, just ride it until it blows up or doesn't.
It seems to me it's getting louder, but it's a gradual process, and I'm already focused on it, so who knows if it's the bike or my imagination ?
So today, in to work on a Sunday, light traffic, we're all flying 80 - 90. I need to make a move and in my enthusiasm I don't downshift, just stand on it in fourth.
It pinged so loud I was sure I broke something. BUT ONLY ON THE LEFT SIDE.
I got off the throttle and it went back to it's usual self.
Is this any clue as to perhaps an indetectable lean condition on that side ? Am I just losing my mind ? Is thinking about this as a long term bike perhaps jinxing me ? And what about Naomi ?
