Paul,
How bizarre! I just got back from the Dealer (RPM) because I thought I
heard excessive valve train noise. Turns out to be a crack in the header,
same place. We did a little investigation and the clamp that holds the can
on to the header was situated such that the bolt flange interfered with the
center-stand hitting the rubber bumper. This causes the center-stand to
bounce off the clamp while going down the road. We surmised this caused the
crack. Ya'll check that clamp now, ya'ear.
