You are right not to believe your dealer. I ran a Trident 900 for over 50k and had no increase in noise level of any kind.
As far as the cause..... :???: tricky..... It's of the mileage for a major service including tappets, carb balancing air filter and plugs, has this been done?
You say it's only one cylinder, how do you know it's one cylinder and which one? Are you sure it's engine noise? I'm not doubting you but sound has a habit of traveling sending you on a wild one if you're not careful. To give an example I thought I had some thing loose under the gas tank on mine, it turned out to be a loose mirror :roflmoa2: but I swore it was coming from below the tank.
The dealer is spinning you a line because they can't find it either. Can you duplicate this when the bike is running either in gear or in neutral on the centre stand? You can simulate load by using the rear brake (make sure you hold the front brake on while you do this)
I hope some of this helps, let me know
