Howdy guys,
I'm noticing that my R7's motor is pretty clattery the first few miles of every ride, even after I let it first warm up to operating temp before heading out (tends to read around 176° F or so). It seems to quiet down a bit several miles into the ride. It has about 800 or so miles on the bike and has done this since mile 1.
First oil/filter change around 610 miles, and the oil was dirty and dark as any break in oil is to be expected. I shined a light into the oil and didn't see much metal flake that would concern me either. So I am not alarmed there.
Its just an observation that seems a little out of place. If its going to make that noise even at operating temp, I would expect the noise to stay there during the ride, not go away. Wondering if others have noticed/identified this kind of thing on their R7/MT-07. If folks chime in that this is a normal thing, so be it. I won't have any further concerns over it.
Thanks in advance!
