Does this tell you something ?
Have you heard other air cooled engines running in hot weather to have something to compare to ?
Do you hear it while riding, or just idling ?
Do you have a windshield,....or possibly just added one ?
All these things make a difference.
You may not have any abnormal noise at all.
When idling hot, mine is noisy at best !
And its a lot nosier while riding after a windshield install.
