Posted a few days ago about a potential bad CCT, here are some more details.
Took my 06 to a mechanic for valve service, valves were fine, mechanic told me he cleaned out throttle bodies while in there. That's all I know.
I picked up the bike and it was making a loud noise, the best way i can describe is, imagine that normally there is some kind of sound damping around the engine case, that is now removed. Doesnt sound like marbles, doesnt sound like a bad chain, no ticking. It Sounds like a motor actuating, just REALLY loud, engine case is louder than exhaust at low RPM. It changes with idle, but the same sound is always there, regardless if bike is warm / cold.
Here is the Kicker while manipulating the throttle out on the road, I can hear that loudness disappear around 3500 to 4000 rpm occasionally, and when it disappears, it sounds like a valve is closing around a leak or something,
At first I thought i might be crazy, I took the bike back to the mechanic and he gave me a funny look, so I left, and I wont be back to him. I don't think I'm noticing a loss in performance. And it doesn't sound like a CCT issue, based on what I've been reading.
