I went and got an inspection sticker on my bike today, I should have sooner, but never think of it when out riding. On mine the noise that I description in the post a couple above this is weird, I lean forward, and it's louder, lean back, and don't hear it. In regular riding position when I hear it ,I can keep my head in the same spot, and tuck my chin in towards my chest, and don't hear it. I notice on several KPX videos, that these motors change tone, about the time the really start getting in their power band, and that's when I hear it on mine. I have only rode the bike with one helmet, and may try a different one next time. It sounds crazy, but as I mentioned my Savage motor sounded noisier depending on what helmet I wore, and if it had the windshield on, or not.
