Just wondering if anyone has ever gotten a weird noise aftre washing their RT or after it has sat out in the rain upon startup?
I washed the bike yesterday and it made a noise when I started it, almost a cross between a ring rubbing on the cylinder and/or a belt. I wasn't expecting the noise so I didn't pinpoint it, and the bike started quiet as usual every start after... but when I came out of work today it had sat in a rainstorm and made the noise again when I fired it up. Again no noise after the initial start and the oil level is fine.
I'm leaning towards something getting wet around the starter or something stupid like that but being unfamiliar with the BMW's it has me baffled. Is this something I should be concerned about?
On a plus note the wife and I did a nice little 300 mile loop yesterday afternoon and got 50 mpg two up while riding the bike fairly hard thru the twisties
