    Default At 350 Miles, A Tapping Sound At Idle That Comes & Goes



    At some red lights it taps, and others it does not. Also, if I slightly rev it, the tapping goes away. I'm pretty sure it is the clutch.

    Anyone else experience this curiosity?

    I hear a ticking noise when it is idling in the garage and I have no helmet. I think it is fuel injectors

    But it is a metallic sound. It is not constant either. Like a few taps, then a gap, then a few more, kind of like my A-Fib was!

    If it's still under warranty, at the very least, call the service department, or take it to the dealer.

    I would if dealer were close by, but it is not.
