Anyone notice this ?

At a standstill , If you "blip" or roll on the throttle , both at the start of the increase in RPM's , and again on return to idle , a clunking ? There was probably always some there , but seems very noticeable now .

I'm used to the sewing machine sound , but never noticed this particular sound before .

If I had to guess or describe its sound , I would say it sounds like the counter balance swinging back n forth , but stopping abruptly ... ?

She still seems to be running good , I've thought a couple times I detected an engine vibration , but never seems to be around long enough to pick up on it , its an 08 with K&N HPE and E B R ECM and 20k miles .

It's probably nothing , but fire away !!!

This may seem out of place by I had been experiencing strange noises just before my rear wheel bearing went. I thought it was engine related too since the loud exhaust made it difficult to pin down. Food for thought.

Someone else was complaining about a strange noise, the stator nut had backed off.
