Thanks to all for your replies and information . . . I rode my clattering bike to the dealer this afternoon to talk about the problem. Not a pleasant experience . . . I received quite a number of lectures on everything from how terrible these sort of forums are, how terrible Syn3 is, how terrible AmsOil is, how terrible a rider I am and that everything will be OK until I get to my 1k service and they will let me know then if there is anything wrong. I couldn't even get the Service Manager to walk out and listen to the bike. I will have to call for an appointment to get a 'tech' to do that.
So . . . In search of a new dealer!!
BTW . . . Does anyone have feedback on the cost for the 1k Service?

Sorry about how the Dealer treated you.
Even though I was pissed my motor let loose, I was supper happy how my dealer took care of me.
They gave me no chit at all, said it was covered and would fix with no prob, didn't ask how I drove it, what oil I used or any crap like that.
And they said all that before I said I was gonna trade it.
Plus my Dealer gives you the 1,000 service with a purchase.
You may need to drive some to find a good Dealer, but will be very happy when you do.
It can make a bad situation a lot better IMHO.
I do agree with Mike, they are hard to find!!!!
