About a month ago I tried to fire the Max up and it made a real loud popping noise through the carbs and it fouled the plugs. I changed the plugs and got it to fire up but I could hear the valves clattering. I took it to the dealer and had the carbs synched but the valves still clatter but it does not back fire through the carbs any more. It is a 06 and just turned 8k miles. Do you think the valves need adjusted? :punk:
 
My 05 w/ 5500 miles and my old man's 04 with 12k each seem to make an equal amount of noises from day one like possible valve clatter etc. I have heard another 92 max that made the same noises as well with 48,000 miles. I'm not worried, my not expert opinion is that these bikes just love to make noise :punk:
