I am probably just being paranoid since I am not completly familiar witht he Nomad yet, but does anyone know a Nomad expert or experienced person in East Texas?.......roughly Houston area east...I live in Jasper which is about 60 - 70 miles north of Beaumont Tx.

I can met you somewhere on the weekend and compare, what year do you have. Also what noise do you have, since I put my stock exhaust back on I found a lot of strange noises but they are probably not an issue.

If it runs good with no running problems, I would say its fine, these motors are famous for weird sounds. Just ride it and enjoy.

I agree with Vidor that the Nomad is a noisy bike. Valves clatter a lot but that is normal. Hope you guys were able to get together and figure it out.

The best cure is to wear a full face helmet with earplugs.
