Well I apologize. The clutch is on the right side, THis noise is coming from the left side, I think its the staror caver. It only makes the noise whan the motor is warm and under load. (thats why it went away with the clutch pull) It is a loud buzzing noise. I went in this AM and got the run around, The let it cool in the shade and then only rode it less than a mile. Tech said there was nothing wrong with it. Well Its poretty darn loud. I went to pull the starter cover today and got about 23 teaspoons of oil out oof it before it stopped( should there be oil in there) Anyhow I didnt get teh cover iff. i checkened out, adn bolted it back after the cover was being difficult to remove, Anyone had that cover off? Any tricks to it? I dont think the local dealer is going to do anything abou tit till it just eats itself or has catastrophic failure. I know its under warranty, but i want it fixed so i feel comfortable riding it furthur from home.
