I have noticed that my new R1250GS has a strange and unexpected engine noise.
It occurs when the engine is under load at all speeds and all gears. A typical circumstance - 50 mph in top gear. When slightly opening the throttle, there is a strange rattle/slight knock/grumble. It's always difficult to describe a mechanical sound, but it's obviously fairly loud if I can hear it at 50 with a full-face helmet and silicone earplugs.
My dealer said, 'it's still new.'
My previous two water-cooled 1200s never had this issue.
Any ideas?
