I don't hear anything out of the ordinary. If you really want to hear a noisy engine, ask Nobrakes to run a sound video of his KTM. They are the noisiest engines I have ever heard. Sounds real similar to a tin can with rocks in it.
No offense intended Brian, cause I know that they run great! Just noisy.
Damn straight! You guys quit whining about your KLX's noises. Except you, Eric. [:@]

Makes a helluva racket, but runs like a banshee!

Show off! Some of us are on restricted budgets and can only afford the little green fun machine. But to get back to the point, 4 year warranty? As long as you don't change anything go WOT till she blows and let them figure it out. But it's hard to tell in the video, sounds pretty normal to me, I put a Utah plate on mine and it sounds like all Hell is breaking loose. A word of caution if you have a 4 year warranty follow it to the letter. If they have to change your babies diaper let them do it.

On the contrary, I use to think my KLX was noisy too. That's until I got my KTM. Now I'm envious of how quiet the KLX was. Oh, you think your seat is hard? Try out the carbon fiber seat on the KTM.

But that latter problem should be remedied next week. Seriously, I even have a tracking number this time, so it should actually materialize here next Thursday. We'll see. I also have another top secret component on the way as well to, ah, enhance the dirt biking experience even more ... if that is possible.

Way off subject, didn't know they made matching hemorhoid covers for KTM's, Those crafty Austrians.
