Weird noise from 1125r

[Semperfi]

Hi everybody, about 3 days ago I bought a Buell 1125r from my dealer near here. It's a used 2009 and only has about 300 miles on it. Yesterday as I was riding on on some twisty roads doing hooligan stuff I noticed the bike just seemed louder. It has this additional sound like when a car has a leak in the muffler. I uploaded a video of the sound so I would like to see if you guys can make anything of it. Keep in mind I have not beat on the bike at all, in fact I have only put about 100 miles on it personally so I can't imagine I've destroyed something from misuse...

That is the roll of nickles they put in the pipe. Perfectly normal sound.

Oh ok, I just thought it seemed weird since it started yesterday and hadn't done it before. Why in the world do they put a roll of nickles in the exhaust?

With a cold exhaust, of course, try light to moderate thumps with your hand on the bottom of the exhaust to see if you can replicate the rattle.

Roll of nickles??? [confused]

Roll of nickles???

He was being sarcastic, I believe.

 

[bfletcher]

Yes, sorry for the sarcasm. It is a normal sound though. Keep in mind, the bike isn't through the break in yet.

Alright thanks guys, I was kinda worried when it suddenly got louder while I was out riding. I got onto this after a '99 sportster so this is completely unfamiliar territory lol

I forgot how a stock pipe sounds... kinda like a sewing machine. Much MUCH quieter than the FMF I have on mine... but as I recall, definitely a normal sound.
