I apologize in advance...

For probably resetting the counter.

But this noise has me worried, for a few reasons.

• it does not improve after the engine comes up to temp (video was taken after a long ride, engine is hot hot)

• throttle blip does not make it go away

• its loud and sharp and kind of metallic sounding (like loud loud)

• it's coming from the left side of the engine, far from the CCT

• Fully independent of clutch lever operation

• seems to be coming from the top left area of the engine, maybe headers? It's hard to tell

2026 SP at 3k miles.

Maybe an exhaust leak?

I just installed the Yosh pipe last week. I torqued all the header bolts nice and tight, maybe the gaskets are toast?

Just hoping it's not top end related.
