Hey I know this is a Yamaha forum but was just wondering if you folks experience the same kind of noises I hear. When taking off from a stop light, I am guilty of sometimes just letting the clutch out too early and gassing the throttle, bike does not stall or hesitate, but seems like every third take off you would swear the bike was pinging or knocking a little under the helmet but not quite sure. Very subtle but noticeable. Been told by dealer these bikes are not designed to be pulling down that low and I should either launch it at a higher rpm and drag clutch or take off slower and give very little gas. Either way I am wondering if any of you have experienced the same kinds of noises.
