I'm hearing a noise in the right side head of the engine, sounds like an out of adjustment valve, but the bike only has 3900 miles on it (2014). Most of the time it's when the engine is getting warm to operating temp, and can be heard throughout the rpm range, and louder under load. No loss of power or rough running. Could it from the crank gear out of adjustment, or did the valves come out of adjustment prematurely?

Thanks in advance.

Crank balancer, they all do it, don't worry at all. Ride. Safely. It's fun.
