I heard it this morning when I first started on my way in to work but when I got to the office, I didn't hear it as much. I think I'm going to do the valves and see how it goes from there. I really like this bike and don't want to start hating it because it's got an issue.
Trust me, I do ride the snot out of it. I am thinking I want to get a windscreen for it next spring to make the blowback more manageable. I've been looking at a couple of the GIVI screens that are made for "naked" bikes. I'm coming up on about 3500 miles in the last 6 months. Pretty good considering I haven't done too much "touring" on it.

New recordings after I got home from work. If you listen to the first one you can just hear the woodpecker sound. From teh recording I almost think it's valves but I just can't shake the rod knock idea.
