I'd wait for others to post up before getting overly concerned. One thing to keep in mind is that with an air-cooled engine, I think you're bound to hear a few more mechanical noises than you might not otherwise hear with water flowing through the engine. Another thing is that the stock exhaust is so quiet on this bike that you're bound to hear more engine noises than you would otherwise. I thought that my stock Honda Hawk GT exhaust was quiet (it is) until I experienced by CB1100's exhaust note, so much of what we hear is relative.
That's not meant to downplay or dismiss any issues that you or others might be experiencing. Just something to keep in mind. Like yourself, I'll be keeping an eye on other's comments to threads such yours, as this community has a lot of combined mechanical knowledge that we can all benefit from.
