    Got about 600km (375 miles) logged.

    Has anyone else noticed their valves getting louder, could be injector noise.

    Maybe its just normal break in but it sounds like a sewing machine going crazy down there.

    I have more valve noise now than when new, unless it's my imagination. It's not enough to worry about though. I'll get my first valve check this summer after a lot of riding in CO and surrounds, and while I'm not looking forward to paying for it, I am looking forward to finding out how much the clearances have changed. According to the tech, once past the first adjustment, we should be good to go for a lot of miles.

    Also, if you have recently added a skid plate you will hear a lot more engine noises.

    I noticed some valve noise in addition to my right side mirror having a rattle that also sounds like valves. Might want to check that area for additional noise.

    Not sure about rattles but is anyone else finding mirror shake annoying? A Honda XR650L has rubber mirror mounts that I'm looking at trying. Apparently a common issue on 650cc singles.

    Matching your observations about the valves noise.. my terra has already 3000km and no problems unless the valve noising and broken dispay change buttom.
    anybody has observed minor noise after valves checking??.

    Yes. Until I changed the oil yesterday for the first time, then it quieted back down.
