2026 M8 117 TOP END CRICKET

2026 RG with 1000KM on the odometer. I put 20,000km on a different M8 and never noticed this sound. I know I know, the M8s are a loud, sloppy, sowing machine. But if you listen real closely to the valve train there is a rhythmic cricket sound (maybe a bit of a squeek?).

Has anyone heard this before? Is this a "new motor" thing?

Any advice would be appreciated. I have it booked for the first service in a few weeks. It seems to run fine. However, this is the same bike that got me 35KM before blowing smoke out it's ass and leaving me stranded (plugged trans vent).

Thanks in advance ✊

Ears ringing and plugged

How long do people deal with this after a long 10+ hour ride? I usually feel better the next day, but this time im going on 6 days with plugged ears off and on, and constant ringing.

I wear Alpine motoprp earplugs, have a windshield and all.

Just wondering if others avoid this somehow. Ive been riding for 30 years and never had it like this.

Thanks!

Any suggestions for new rider before purchasing RG

Let me start by saying I have not ridden a street motorcycle in over 2 decades. I always rode dirt bikes and had a Sportster in my early 20s briefly. Due to circumstances I took a break from normal society for a little over 10 years. Fast foward another 8 years and life is good. Married, business owner, landlord, union worker, etc... I decided I want to ride again and got my permit and waiting for road class. After that I will buy a bike. I settled on a Road Glide for looks and because I'm 6'3 250lbs and feels comfortable to sit on. The photo is of a new one but would probably get used a couple years to save some money, esp. Since I don't currently ride. I have a $25k budget +/- and am overwhelmed with all the bikes available. I like the Black/Black look but other than that just don't know what to look for. Listing list options I have no idea of and levels I don't understand. Any help in what to look for and/or avoid would be appreciated.

CarPlay on 24’ RG Limited

Any idea as to why CarPlay would suddenly start showing on my 24’ Limited? Purchased brand new a year ago and CarPlay has never come up until today.

CarPlay

Hooked CarPlay up to my 2025CVO road glide. It glitched and shot on and off every five minutes. Is it even worth the aggravation?
