My neighbor seem to think it doesn't sound right so I decided to record and let the experienced here. it seems to ride just fine. spuddering at the end is likely because I forgot top open fuel petcock.
He seems to think something isnt firing right... but he also rides a cruiser.

it doesnt sound like its missing at all. it might just be the vid sound but it sounds like it could be idled up a bit. what rpm is it idling at? as for your nieghbor yeah it gonna sound different than a cruiser not just because of the exhaust but because sport bikes have a diff phase motor which gives it that loping sound at low rpms.

Why does he think it's not running right... because it's not rattling itself apart? The other thing is you might have turned the choke off too early. I noticed that you turned it off almost right after the bike started. You can leave the choke on, just make sure the bike doesn't idle above 3k rpm. I try to keep the bike in the area of 25k when warming up. Once it's just above the C, I turn the choke off. I don't think there's any CCT noise going on, but I'd have to listen to the bike when warmed up. What type of exhaust are you running? Other than that, the bike sounds great. By the way, nice Kawi.

All this is very good news I feared I needed to invest some more time into its maintenance.
PS thats my Sisters bike she bought it about a month after I got this. She got jealous and decided to one up me.
