Valve noise on a 08 Rstd with less than 1000 miles

[live2ridejp]

I recently just purchased a 2008 Rstd that was brand new left over with no miles on it.

I drove it back from Arkansas to ohio which was about 800 miles and dumped the oil and

put Aims oil in it. Immediately i noticed i tick noise when the motor was cold and when it warmed it didnt notice it as much. So took it to a local Yamaha dealer and he heard it as well and notified his rep. and they answered him that the covers around the motor enhance the motor noise sound. They took notice and wrote it down as a complaint of mine but thats as far as i got. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do beyond this?

I know that manual says 26,000 miles valve adjustment is needed but i dont want to

pay for an adjustment if i have too? any suggestions or thoughts about this?

What brand of oil filter do you have on there now? and what is the weight oil your using?

For what it's worth, my 2006 has had Amsoil since 6000 miles and now at 26000 still no valve noise. I use 10W40 Amsoil Motorcycle Oil and their filter.

 

Good luck!

I think after a few members read this and respond you will find most has a slight ticking noise when first started but then fades away..I have been around several that do this so I would say its normal..I may be wrong but mine does it and when we checked the valves they were within specs..

My 06 does the same thing...dealer said it was the tensioner and nothing to worry about.

Agree mine does same too.... Relax and have a Home Brew knowing you have a 5 Year Warranty

I'm guessing the reason they give you a 5 year warranty is because you don't need it. Mine was never back to the dealer once.
