i just picked up my new 05 600 friday and im breakin in in but i have a question. I hear what seems to be the valves ticking while im riding is this normal for break in or will i always hear them? i understand ill hear the motor but just dont want a problem down the road. i only have around 120 miles on it.

You will always hear this clicking noise, it's normal. I'm not quite sure what it is but I kinda like it.

does it get quieter after time? is it the valves? as long as its not a problem and everyone else has the same noise thats fine, dont want to let the warranty run out before i realize somethings wrong.

It is the valves. it isnt a problem, mine clicks like crazy, the exhaust drowns it out.

might be cam chain tensioner.. not sure bout the newer models. but they do make some noise.

thanks guys i love my bike more today than yesterday now that i know all is well. just got to rip into it when shes broken in.

Mine does it too. I think they all do. I was thinking it's either the cam chain tensioner, valves, or the header leaking a little.

Yeah my 04 Six makes a whole bunch or racket. +1 for good noise with no problems!
