Does this engine sound okay or may this need checking?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbxkcHMDkO0 I am referring mainly to the slightly sewing machine sound / rock tumbler? Is this normal for a Buell. I noticed it on my XB12R and thought it was normal until I listened to a few videos on here and I know sometimes quieter sounds get drowned out on cheaper cams but I heard it on a few videos, not that many and it seems to be only on the higher quality videos.
 
Sounds normal to me but I can't really hear the motor noises on my blast. It has a shortened v&h and is too loud. They sound great and make good power at 7500 rpm's with F.I. Air cooled engines are noisy when their cold. It needs to warm up for all the tolerances to get into spec.

It dont sound too bad to me, but your clutch lever looks pretty loose when you rev up the bike. Other than that your bike looks clean[up][up]
 
I've had my bike for over 7 yrs. and still haven't gotten used the sound.
Sewing machine is a very good reference. Unfortunately it's normal.
