My bike was stored for a little bit but it had the 10w-30 from the factory and never made a peep. I finally put some miles on it because of some warmer weather and had the 600 mile service done to it. Weather still warm and riding the bike started making noises soon as I took the bike home and unloaded off my truck after the service. Kept looking for a loose bracket narrowed it down to crankcase noise. I'm thinking dealer used 10w-40, if so I will drain and refill with synthetic 10w-30 and have dealer note that 10w-40 was added and made noises for warranty purpose. Thats if they used 10w-40.Been using 10W40 riding the crap out of it. Sounds lovely, like a inline four should sound.
Sounds like a few of these have had improperly adjusted cam chain tensioners.
