Nothing bizarre, just general "mechanical" noise at idle and while riding. Pulling in the clutch makes no difference. It almost has that worn clutch basket sound, but clutch engaged or not makes no difference in sound.

I think, with 2000 miles on the bike, it's high time for a piston at least. I just have ridden it so little, that 2000 miles has snuck up on me. I was thinking that perhaps GasGas has improved their tolerances over the years and the new ones are just super tight and quiet. But I don't want to excuse not doing regular maintenance either.
