    Has anyone heard of any engine issues with these bikes? If so what is failing? I have a friends bike has 4000 miles, he was on the high and engine stopped making power, now it is make noise a tapping noise? I checked the valve clearances and they look good so no broken valve? Just look for some ideas before the motor gets torn down.

    Thank you

    A buddy of mine 636 just had a piston slap a valve and destroyed his engine. Holes in the front and rear of the engine case.
