I started mentioning this in a different thread but basically I went through pre ride checks, oil is new from recent change with the first service last fall, just pulled out of storage, I let the bike warm up and to me sounds okay.

Then after a good 7 to 10 minute warm up in 45 degree weather I take a ride around one city block and this is what it sounds like. Hope you can hear the tick...

It did just have it's first service last fall, new oil and all but the oil looks like it is near the lower reading on the sight glass, when checked while on the center stand. Could it just be low oil? When cold should the sight glass be near the low end or to end? Especially after just having the first servicing done?
Would you take it back to the dealership to have them check the oil since the only miles since servicing was the three miles to get the bike home? Not worry about it and ride it like I stole it and how it writers down, what? I don't have the disposable income to throw away on this, the bike is my daily rider in the spring summer and fall... The car gets parked and not driven.
Then the sound that sounds like I am riding on flat tires but I know I am not as I just filled the tires up to 36 and 42 yesterday... Wonder if dirt between the pads and brake disc might make that sound?
