I was in heavy slow moving traffic and I was slowing and thought I shifted down to a lower gear but when I let the clutch out to accelerate the bike made a really bad metal on metal tink tink chug tink noise. This happend right before my 600 mile first tune up. I had the bike tuned and they adjusted the valves. Now sometimes when I take off I hear the tink sound. At first I thought I was under revving it but now I am not sure. Now I am getting nerveous everytime I take off thinking that the tink noise is going to happen again. Hopefully I did not hurt the piston or valves.
Other than that I really like the bike. There are lots of Harley heads here and they call my bike little suzzi. Anyway any help would be appreciated.
