Hey dogs,

I traded my 650 twin in on a demo 2012 800gs.. she has 3500km on the clock. I notice a distinct knock at 5000 rpm? the motor generally sounds noisier and feels rougher than my 650 was.. I’m under the understanding that the only difference between the motors was the cams? has anyone else experienced this? I havent filled her up yet so i'm assuming the dealer filled her up with the correct grade of fuel? might not be the best assumption?  ::)
