F3L - strange sound at 4,000-4,100 RPM
I’ve only had the bike for two weeks and getting ready to take it to the dealership for the 900 mile break in checkup and oil change tomorrow (it’s a freebie I negotiated!). I’ll be discussing a strange sound and ‘feel’ from the engine when I hit around 4,000 RPM, but was just wondering if this is normal or an abnormality.
I purchased the bike assuming it was ‘new’, with like 5 miles. While at the dealership, I noticed it had 45 miles on it as I was waiting for the paperwork to be completed. A bit later, it’s now closing time and raining. After donning rain gear and prepping to leave the parking lot, I was playing with the controls and hit the odometer. There was actually 147 miles on the bike (the 45 I saw was actually a trip meter). Needless to say, I was ticked, felt deceived, marched back in to the shop and told them so - hence the free 900 mile service.
Come to find out a few days later, the bike was used, supposedly, ‘by the shop’ during a customer event ride and was not used as a demo. Don’t know if this possible ‘not demo use/abuse’ could have anything to do with the strange sound/feel.
Any input is appreciated.
