Hello all,
Anyone else getting a metallic clunk from the engine 6-8 seconds after starting? I can hear it coming from the front of the engine and can hear it affecting the RPM and can see it in the RPM gauge. After the clunk RPM's get slightly higher and sounds smoother. I've noticed the clunk steadily getting louder as the months go by.

I'm at about 1,250 miles and I did the valve adjustment at the factory recommended mile mark. The bike sometimes dies when I coast to a stop and I blip the throttle from idle but very rarely.

About time for another valve adjustment?
