nope, sounds like ****. You should sell it to me real cheap. Then you could go and buy yourself a spare scooter or two that you wax so eloquent about. LOL.
Pushrod engine, sounds normal to me.

I'm not a whisperer, I'm more of a kick stuff and beat on it with a hammer guy, but to me it sounds buelltiful.

These things come in a variety of sounds, some louder than others sound tick more some tick less. Video never allows the whole sound or true sound, may be ok but, taking note the "tat tat tat" noise got louder with load. Its not uncommon for rod bearings to go bad, and you may be on your way out
^^ lol, told you sell to me cheap real quick like. :eagerness:
Sounds like you should sell your scooter and buy a new muffler for your Buell.

Wow, that is some loud lifter chatter. You should sell it to Mrlogix.
I don't know the difference between the 07 down and 08-10 in terms of valve train noise, my 08 is quiet.

Ive shimmed rocker arms to reduce top end chatter. That was around 40k bikes
This is my first time doing this so I hope it works but this is my 09 Firebolt with a Drummer SS. It's really quiet in the video but still a little difficult to pick out the engine ruckus.

Chicago, here you go... I started a YouTube Chanel just for you...
http://youtu.be/9D7jv0T9EjE
The only chatter is the crappy Jardine popping and the broken LED blinker in my mirror from lane splitting. I even touched the phone against the cam housin for ya... You can hear the gear nois from the cams and the tight shuffle of the lifters doing what they do. This is a tight engine. It is possible to own a Buell that doesn't sound like a can full of rocks.

Thanks. I nearly parted it out when it had the rod bearing failure. I could have bought a new one for what it cost to rebuild the engine with all new parts but I didn't want to get a new problem bike. I did my homework and this is the fruit. Love it.
I've learned more from the knowledge base of this site and a service manual than I thought was possible.
Thanks to all of you who helped.
By the way, Cometic sells head gaskets in different thicknesses which could help in tightening up the space between lifter and rocker arm. The kit I had was half as thick as the crappy stock gasket.

Thanks man... I hope it survives the rider. It's hard not beating on it.
