GMR, I am in Indiana....the dealer that I purchased it new from went out of business shortly after I bought it.....I have had 2 other dealers ride it and say it is just the way they are...they all do that....same old BS. It doesn't seem like any dealer takes it serious enough to want look into it .....I know they cannot just start pulling it apart but I just cannot believe that something is going to happen at any time. Not a good thing when every time you ride you are worried about whether or not it is going to detonate. It was as quiet as any bike I had previously owned until it got 1500 miles on it and then it started rattling like no tomorrow and has ever since.....that alone says that something changed from new to 1500 miles. Oh well, just wondering if they may have "fixed" this problem that they say doesn't exist.
