I understand the 1100's just don't like to be lugged. This is getting out of hand though. If I let out the clutch from a stoplight and don't rev it to about 2500 or more, it makes that loud ratcheting sound like someone running their finger over a comb.
It would make me feel better if I knew it was normal, but seriously doubt it came from the factory acting like that. Randakk kit, numerous synchs, plugs etc etc. Rotella 15w40, new oil filter.
The bike has always done this, at least the year I've had it, but it seems to be getting more grumpy as time wears on.
