Seriously, if it's making a noticable sound I'd pull the cover asap before something blows...this is a known engine killer.

It really doesn't hurt to take a look. Personally I probably waited too long to do the mod. I only had about 2 clicks until the plunger shot out. I was at roughly 11,000 miles.

Or is it both? Great bike btw! Cheers Carl
