hi,
thks for the replays so far. No, this is not a headlight or speedo, it's engine - like a sawing machine or chain saw. I'd say valves, but the thing that confuses me is that it starts after the engine is warmed up. I'd expect that noise from valves on a cold engine until parts warm up and expand. Well, maybe S40's head is different.
And to answer the question, it was supposed to have its first service at 1000, and I got it used at the dealership at that mileage and the dealer told me that the service has been performed. Oil looks very clean and the level right on spot, so I'm assuming they did just an oil and since there were no sound from valves at the time, they didn't touch them.
I was hoping to leave a proper servicing until the end of riding season, but now I might do that earlier.
BTW, a friend of mine who has a boat, told me that there's a better way of preparation for winter than sipping the oil with the spoon into the cylinder. He says, he uses something that he just sprays into the air intake and that something kills the engine and lubes the cylinder walls. Comes spring, all it takes is several attempts to start and all is good. Anybody ever heard of something like that?
