43 degrees & sunshine = 1 ride

Ohhh what a long winter , just had to get a very little ride in.
The ol XT popped off first turn - rapa rapa - music.
It was all around town hitting some different "hoods" and check out
all the new pot holes I could find. Felt good to get back on.
If it hits 50 Sunday the CB will get out.[/img]

I hope so as well since the last thing I did last year was get the first service done at the dealership.. Stored properly and all. Just a weird tick from the motor after a few blocks of riding... Plus a weird sound like maybe chain rubbing on the chain guard.

Maybe the winter poundage I put on must be it... I doubt but wish it was.

I am going to take the tail bag off today and see if that makes a difference.

As I was talking asleep last night I started to think when I removed the battery last year did I move the to kit out of the storage above the battery out was it where it is now... I am thinking that might be a problem it cause of something., where is your tool kit? Anyone take a photo under their seat without moving anything?

I will also start it and let it idle for 5 minutes plus without riding to see if it makes the same sound. Will try to get a video of it and then open a new thread for it.

dBuster - I hope it's nothing.

I let my bike sit nearly a month without starting it and noticed a light pinging sound in the engine about 1 minute into warnup. At the 2 minute mark it faded. Still freaked me out. When I was able to finally get out the next week I never heard it again.
