i have a 2013 LC that I've had for about 2 i/2 years since i got it I've never liked the noise the engine makes... a tappety clicking ... the warmer it gets the worse it gets.... at 40mph its really loud masking the exhaust note... i think the shape of the bodywork and screen somehow chanel and amplify the sound onto the rider... making ear plugs almost compulsory ... Main dealer response to my complaints were 'Thats normal' ... loads of threads about this on here...
Anyway the question is... if i trade mine in, how newer do i have to go to get one without these problems... i seem to remember something about BMW modifying various bits in the engine a few years back to rectify this non existent problem!! Love the bike but cannot live with the industrial revolution going on between my legs on each ride.... i had the 1200 non LC before this and it was whisper quiet... certainly not like this one...
cheers in advance Glenn
