Imagine that, the new bikes have gotten so good we are reduced to bragging about such mundane problems as chain noise.
BTW, My riding buddy stopped me at an intersection whilst on my first ride upon my new wr426.
Dude, your bike is making a horrible rattling noise!
I remember how bad the chain slap was on my old ktm, I ain't worried, thats why I wear ear plugs!
Also if you keep it spinning a little harder it won't slap so violently.
The noise reminds me to wake back up and quit sitting down on the job.
