I surrender to V-twin Lifter Noise

JIM, you may want to look your bike over real good. I think your dealer may have kept the nomad motor and slipped you a Yamaha in line four or something along those lines. It sure don't sound like you are riding on a 1600 V-Twin. ???[/quote:lgwom6d0]

That was normally going down the interstate at 80-85mph....When I was riding in the twisties at 30mph to 45mph I could hear the motor and a low exhaust note.....I just got back from a 2 day 835 mile ride and the only time I noticed the lifter noise was in the morning when the Nomad was first started, but I have the Cobra Exhaust now and I ride merrily down the hwy without a care, unless a deer runs across in front of me ???
