Slight clicking noise

[Esp111]

Keep hearing a clicking noise from the engine when going down the road or at a stop. Any thoughts as to what that could be?

Probably valvetrain noise which is totally normal. These engines make a lot of noise

Ok. Thanks. First bike. Don't know much about em. Still learning.

Yeah, these big air-cooled twins tend to make a lot of noises that are down right scary if you've never ridden one. Just make sure your oil level is correct, and run a full-synthetic.

There are probably 20 different threads on the site arguing synthetic vs conventional and which brand to run if you need some help picking an oil.
